    Have any companies you were particularly fond of gone out of business? If so, what were they?

    My favorite Chinese restaurant closed down a few years ago, they reopened with a slightly different name and new owners. Although the reopening of the newer restaurant has become my favorite Chinese place... I still really do miss quite a few things from their older menu, before they shut down.

    Little locally owned restaurant. A little homestyle, a little Greek. Great place but the economy killed it. And although they didn't technically go out of business Kroger closed all their stores here. Miss that place.

    many of our local family owned businesses have gone under or been bought out by chains. I miss this one pharmacy---the owner was so nice, was a great boss, and would stay open as late as he had to to fill scripts if someone called and said that they couldnt get out of work until a certain time to get their kid's drugs or something like that

    miss Bradlees too

    Haven't thought of this in years but a couple of restaurants. Before Victoria Station went under in the 80's they had great ribs. They were beef ribs. All you could eat. They would start you off with 4 and go 2 at a time after. Most I could ever do was 6. Also Horn and Hardart, aka H&H or The Automat. They had the best baked beans!

    Forgot about Circuit City. Yeah, I would always hit them up before Best Buy. And they were cheaper. Can't believe they went out of business. I used to like The Wiz too.
