Circuit City Closing

Boy, is this a surprise.

Yesterday, Circuit City announced it was closing all of its stores.

I am really surprised by this. This was one of the stores I least expected to ever close. They're not wasting any time either. This afternoon, I was riding down Wendover Avenue here in Greensboro and saw people standing on the side of the road with Going Out of Business signs.

So, if there's a certain plasma screen HD TV you've been wanting, now might be the time to get it.

And as a tribute to Circuit City, here's a little blast from the past from 1991 advertising Circuit City's Christmas sales.

1995 Montgomery Ward Commercial

Woolworth Stereo Spectacular (Formerly of Lost Retail City)

Over at Retro Junk, I came across an interesting classic commercial for the Woolworth Stereo Spectacular '71. I must admit, it really has that early '70s vibe to it.

Take a look at it here.
