USA. Going out of Business.

:

I went down to Universal News (in Soho) yesterday and it was closed. The whole store. Empty, light out. Walking down Broadway was a bit eerie... lots of sale signs in the window, 50% off. Tourists walking about and you hear them saying that they like a bag but even with the sale price 250 is too expensive. Upon getting off the train in Brooklyn I noticed the local video store was going out of business and having a big sale.
