Jennifer -
I didn't know Cathy was having to sell.
That is a tremendous loss. Maybe it was the hours that got to them.
As you say, they did maintain great hours, which is key to success
on that strip. I say this because Cathy always told me they were
doing pretty well there.
I bought 90% of my Chrismas gifts there year before last. This last
Christmas we didn't exchange.
Hey, if the Big Box stores are ailing, it's no wonder...
I'm very sorry to hear this though.
