Our World Tuesday

OMG ... Hannah's is going out of business ...

My neighbor and I went out to coffee early ... parked our car in Hanna's lot and walked to the coffee shop.  When we got back the line wasn't too bad so we stood to wait.  This little girl and her mother were waiting in front of us ... too cute not to snap a picture.

Once we were inside it was mayhem, much like you see in the movies.  People pushing and pulling at the merchandise and each other.  

Everything was 20% off ... really?  I was hoping for 50% or 75% off.  But it didn't seem to matter to the crowd.

Lines started forming at the cash registers ...

That's my stuff in her basket ... she was nice enough to let me set it down as we waited our turn (Isn't she sweet!)

One of the harried cashiers ...

I really missed the boat on this post.  I should have taken a picture of the line outside that wrapped around the block ... and if I had been brave enough I would have snapped a picture or two of the ladies squabbling over the purses, but you get the gist of this sale.  There is more to this story, however.  This is the second long time small business that has closed down in our little town this summer ... It speaks to the economy and how our congress has refused to pass anything to support the middle class.  I guess if we were billionaires we wouldn't have to worry, right?  Sad but true ...
