ilgetumipretty Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yes it is VERY bad here in Michigan. I do hope the irony of the company closing all the Michigan stores is not lost on its headquarters ----in Monroe, Michigan!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Hillman, a little town outside of Alpena, for a few years and met my dh in Alpena. I grew up in Michigan, just moved around alot due to foster care.

Khecksel Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I am over by grand rapids and it does seem like everything is closing here. DH works for an auto supplier and it is very scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herculesmomma Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I have to say, it isn't a ghost town yet, but it does feel like we are a very fragile egg. Seems like at any time we are going to crack and the whole house of cards will come down. I hope I'm wrong - I'm in my 30's so I don't have that much experience with the economy here in the metro Detroit area. But all the older people keep telling me they've never seen anything quite like this before. Very scary to hear. I'd hate to be forced to leave the State, but it may come to that if any of the big 3 go under. It would then officially be a ghost town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bargaingal2 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 It is very scary around here. Stores are closing left and right. Praying that it turns around soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
