I've seen it happen to lots of companies and retail outlets around where I live. It happened to Wonder and their factory is not too far from where I live. Sports Chalet and Sports Authority are also victims of this. Tower Records, Blockbuster, Drake's Coffee, Chevys Restaurants, I could name about a thousand other business I've seen where this has happened. Fuck vulture capitalism. Do Mitt Romney and his BFF Nascar owners really need another mansion?
