I really can't say I'm upset the big orange box is going away, but I can say it's crap that so many people will be losing their paychecks.
Now where, oh, where will I buy dried out, neglected, foliage frozen clearance plants? Oh, yeah- there's always Lowe's - for now.
I'm betting this is just the beginning of worse things to come.

tina - i saw the article that HD was closing some of the stores but didnt know where they were located. Thanks for posting that list. I wouldnt be sad to see them go either. But it's never good to see people lose jobs...
I'm surprised HD isn't closing its store in my town. Nobody ever shope there. The local store, at least, has a reputation for very poor service. You only have to drive by and see the empty parking lot day after day to understand that something is very wrong there.
Hiya, Gina,
thanks for dropping by.
Yeah, I hate the place, but losing more jobs around here is the last thing we need right now.
Wow, hi, Betty,
Thanks for stopping by!
I think most HD's have that rep.
When I told them once that water lilies should actually be watered as they are WATER plants, they said, "Oh, we didn't know." Ummm...duh?
I wouldn't be surprised if they end up adding a lot more stores to that closing list.
