Just Detroit Area Clearance buffs ? I travel to Detroit on business quite often

few really good deals at Meijer, which we also don't have here.

I wonder if any of the Detroit Area AFOLs notice when us out of towners come in
and clear your stores out ;)

Anyhow, "its a sad thing for all of us" is what I wanted to say.
