Bad days for retail stores right now, and everything affected by them (jobs, landlords, suppliers, etc.).

And didn’t Brooks Bros. close up shop recently? I once bought a straw boater there. A real splurge.

Six Degrees of Lord and Taylor...


J. B. White was a department store chain in the Southeastern United States founded in Augusta, Georgia in 1874 by James Brice White, an Irish immigrant.[1] In the early 1910s, White sold the store to the H.B. Calvin Company, owner of Lord & Taylor.[2]


Saturday saw some sad news in the NCAA basketball world. As Geoff Grammar and Kyle Land of the Albuquerque Journal write, 18-year-old incoming New Mexico Lobos player Fedonta “J.B.” White was shot and killed Saturday morning.

How the mighty have fallen! Lord & Taylor used to be top of the heap for expensive women’s wear.
When all is said and done, it is a business concern, that needs a constant inflow of cash. That wasn’t happening since February. Might not happen predictably till next year.
You can’t pay month property rent or salaries with nothing but high hopes.

This virus situation will have an impact for some time to come; I couldn’t imagine the impact of lost wages, lost rental/mortgage/auto payments, employers closed permanently, loss of tax revenues by states and the federal government, etc..

After three years of an improving economy, the last five months have reduced us to where we’d be if Obama had won the 2020 election - economically, socially, in terms of race relations - in everything.

meanwhile there’s pages and pages of ads for amazon workers needed where I live.

They will become even more powerful.

I thought they had already gone out of business. Only people I know that shopped there were over 60 and they hadn’t been there in a couple years.

Must be desparate to file on a Sunday. Best guess is that a creditor was planning to take an aggressive action Monday, and they had to beat them to the punch.

There's a big,very high end mall a couple of miles from me.They have Neiman Marcus,Nordstrom's,Louis Vitton and Lord & Taylor...a mall surrounded by wealthy suburban towns.

But today the place looks like a ghost town.Half the stores haven't even bothered to reopen.

If Rat Party Governors (and Trump hating RINO Governors like ours) set out to destroy the nation's economy it certainly looks like they've succeeded.

And it's all due to "Orange Man Bad".

We love online shopping. ConservaTeen’s brother (who is 11) is incontinent, so we get his supplies online. A few days ago, Mrs D called them up about a defect, so they sent us 2 packages free. Great service from people online. Food, shoes and jewelry shopping is the only thing we don’t go online for.

In my youff it was a big deal for the women to go shopping at Lord and Taylor. It was an upper crust store.
