I'm surprise of seeing not only Blockbuster and Ride-Aid but Sbarro's too?! There goes my favorite pizza place when I go to the mall... ;_;
What's Happening with the Naruto series as of now!

I'm rather surprised Border's Books isn't on that list. There was a lot of speculation that it wouldn't survive the Christmas season. (It's EXTREMELY important in the literary world, as a number of publishers and agents feel there's that Border's demise could be the beginning of the end of mid-list books)
You haven't experienced the full cofusion of modern gender relations until you've heard an angry group of women yelling, "We want tentacles!" at an all-night Hentai-fest.

and where I live we don't have border's, just Walden's and Barnes and Nobles. Neither of which have a decent collection of anything. And I haven't seen a blockbuster's or Video King in years! we have Hollywood video.

Blockbuster? Your kidding, geez this is depressing, especially with corporations closing so many stores already, the rate of unemployment is just skyrocketing. It really does start to look like the next 'Great Depression' if you check on the statistics.

-Blockbuster is no surprise considering Netflix's growing # of consumers.
-Six Flags for all its flashy stuff most of the rides suck.
-Krispy Kreme has always been in Dunkin Doughnuts' shadow.

It isn't even close yet. Unemployment was higher during the Carter years than it is now.
The lowest rate during Depression was about 13% and peaked at 25%.

Most of those companies will probably go under Chapter 11 Reorg. Only a few might decide for a Chapter7 Liquidation. So even if they decide to bankrupt we'll still see them around. I mean Circut City chose Chapter 7 and is still around (till some time next month though)

That's your low opinion. I personally think that Six Flags has some pretty awesome rides, and it's always nice to have a variety in theme parks, so it's not always Disney Disney Disney.

@.@ I've never been to Six Flags, mostly because Disney land is 2 hour drive from my home, and maybe roller coasters make me a bit sick...
Anyways on topic, most of those places Ive never even heard of, I definitely didnt know the name "Krispy Kreme" Blockbusters closed down in my city a while ago, and the Hollywood video (another movie rental place) is still making it because of its deal with some game selling company or else it would have closed down too. *sigh* everyone is saving money (with good reason) and not spending is really hurting everything.

Who said anything about Disneyland I sure didn't, I think Disneyland is overrated. But I also think Six Flags is overrated, and the most overrated ride they have is the Superman ride.

Not really. Disneyland = more of an amusement park. Disney World = BIG Resort with hotels, monorails, 5 different amusement parks, in one BIG mass land area, not to mention a cruise ship
