The Economy on a Shoestring

Once again, a shooting has occured at a shopping mall near me...

Two Carpentersville men have been arrested on charges of attempted murder in Thursday's shooting of a 19-year-old man in a parking lot outside Spring Hill Mall.

Spring Hill was a huge part of my formative retail years, but I haven't been there in ages - precisely because the neighborhood around there has gone downhill...

Once again it has become apparent that I will meet my demise while shopping. plunging the nation even deeper into recession. Have you ever heard of a little shoe store called Nine West? They'll be Chapter Nine West without me!
