WTF!! First, Citibank closes, then Booty Island?! That entire block is going to be empty store fronts soon.
At least RadioShack is still open...? It's unbelievable that a store that sells RADIOS and wires is more profitable.
why does that stretch of Columbia have such a hard time? you think it'd be overrun with entrepreneurs trying to open up a trendy bar or something.
