The only thing that could have driven me to my knees has happened.

The absolutely best smoothie place I have ever known is going under on Friday. This is the 3rd business I've enjoyed that has gone under in the past two weeks. This economy sucks.

Damn... no more Mocha Blisses (I hope the other franchise in Chandler will remain in business). The reason why this place is closing was because the location was not that good to draw traffic and of course..they were very specialized.

Good lord I HOPE not!

To my fellow bird fanciers: At the bird shop that closed.. I was able to secure a 6' X 24" X 24" parrot cage that retailed for $1100 for $300!!!!! Something I would admire and never hoped to own.

That is such a shame, Lotus! This recession is hitting so many places so hard. We have watched several local businesses scale back or go out of business here too.

What others said... you are bad luck for businesses you frequent

Don't worry, I do the same thing to WaMu bank branches. 2 of 3 branches I've gone to have closed. I've found another one, so I'm waiting to see which one of the two closes next.

Yep :) Parrot cages are great for that. I bought it for resale actually. However, my male amazon parrot claimed it..the female accepted it and they moved in. Now they are trying to figure out how to make babies :)

Perhaps it's politicians in general? I was watching Jay Leno last night, and as many people know, California has been without a working budget for about 2 months. Mr. Leno also pointed to the fact that gas prices have dropped another $10 per barrel. Then he said "researchers say when consumer confidence drops, so does the price of oil... in that case, in President G.W. Bush remains president for a 3rd term, oil will be free in 4 years" haha

Oh Lord! It wasn't in the Tri-Cities (Tennessee) area was it? My boy will lose his mind!

Pretty funny. Maybe we need some more tariffs or a smoothie subsidy. Don't hold your breath...lobby isn't big enough, not enough 'free speech' to throw around.

I beg of you, please stay away from the shoe stores on Long Island.

Lotus, I can comiserate. Different particular, same issue. Staying non-partisan on the issue, it probably is a gubmint conspiracy. They don't want us to have anything good.

They discontinued my brand of cigarettes ! There is surely some sinister force behind this.

Sometimes they don't even discontinue something, it just becomes "new and improved". I may have mentioned "chicken things" in the past. When I had my first chicken thing it was great. They came from a company called Market Day. They were great, a chicken breast wrapped around broccoli and cheese. Back then it was broccoli and cheese, but they became new and inproved. Before, it was pure. Now it is supposedly healthier but I don't see how.

They used to have nice chunks of broccoli and the cheese was cheese. Now it is a cheese sauce and they use tiny broccoli flourettes, so small you can't even taste them. The cheese "sauce" is bland and probably has more flour in it than cheese. You cut into the thing and all the "sauce mixture" runs out all over the plate, and truthfully, it is not worth scooping up.

This is progress folks. Remember when you could go to BK and order a "Whaler" and get a fish sandwich that came on something the size of a kaiser roll and the fish was hanging out on all sides ? Order one now.

My ex-favorite pizza place, Nunzio's. They let me down too many times. Used to be the best damn pizza in Cleveland, and Cleveland is near to being the pizza capital of the world.

And now there are no PDQs, Roy Rogers, Red Barns, nothing of the sort. Even this chicken joint on the east side is gone. YES we drove all the way to the east side to get chicken. I almost forgot about DiCarlo's pizza. They used to be big, the family would send an envoy to get their special version of pizza. Hot sauce, hot pepperoni, thin crust and powdered romano cheese. Nothing else. They are gone. They tried to resurrect themselves on the west side but they didn't last long.

What's more, they started making regular pizza !. Asked the guy one day "Can you make it the old way ?", he said yes but it would be about $40 a half sheet.

Royal Castle is gone as well, no more birchbeer. Now when a fastfood joint comes out with their own proprietary soft drink, you would think they are here to stay, but oh well.

It's a goddamn conspiracy I tell ya. Forget about 911 being an inside job, CIA and Mossad actions, overthows and assasinations, none of that means shit, this is a REAL conspiracy. It is bipartisan and there are so many people involved that you would do better to identify those few who are NOT involved.

Maybe "they" think we are too fat.

The Smoothie place is Emerald City Smoothies. My god.. I've had their mocha Bliss's at least once to three times a week since I first tasted on in February. The access to the store was not easy to get off of via the main drag and it was tucked back in a corner section of a strip. Location.. location..location as they say.
My Bird place..Bird Cages 4 Less is just centralizing in it's headquarters in it's home state of Texas. Mail order is very easy and I'll continue to use them. I'm just glad I ran across the sale like I did. I was able to get three cages and store them for future use. That's really the biggest expense with a parrot (other than the parrot itself).
And the third place was Entrées Made Easy. While it was convenient it was not something I could not live without.

But damn..my smooooothie (<--- me whining) place!!!!!

You should have purchased more smoothies.

No way for them to give you the recipe to the smoothie you like?
