2. most of these places sell crap. i kind of hope there is a return to more indie businesses

3. They will just sell their crap online.

Reduced number of employees and reduced overhead for facilities might be enough of a change for them to survive in some form.

6. Dressbarn is the only place

This fat lady finds nice clothes that fit. Stores rarely have comfortable and fashionable clothes in my size.

7. Dressbarn has really nice clothing. Moderately priced. Guess people

can just wear dirty, ripped jean's and tank tops everywhere.

5. It's going to be a very bad year for The Retail Sector

Lots of stores will be closing.
