25 year low for shopping in chicago

[4 t 4]

courtesy of NBC Ch. 5 chicago. Helen Thomas says it's a depression, I agree, with numbers like this. Chicago is a marker.

[SOS]

1. People will be stunned when the numbers are released in January

Many retailers will be gone by Spring.

The knuckleheads in Washington and their trained parrots on TV need to get out of their gilded townhouses and take a look around.
People are angry and the stores are empty.

[sarcasmo]

3. They will be shocked at not only the sales figures but the unemployment numbers.

Michigan will be over ten percent and the rest of the States close to 8 when the numbers come out.

[nevergiveup]

2. I have a retail shop in Chicago area and

absolutely horrid weather today added insult to what already was a major injury. It has been a grim year.

4. Oh God I hope you make it. Good luck Retail in Chicago

Good Luck!
