Don't know if I should be happy or sad

In August, my area Best Buy had a fire. The fire was relatively small, from what I understand, but the damage from the smoke and the sprinkler systems is what cost the most in damages.

What has been a rumor for the past couple months has been confirmed by the city: Best Buy is pulling out of my area. Their lease was up in January anyway, and I guess the fire made them not want to renew.

For all the Best Buy sucks stories on here, and even considering I probably posted a few myself based on experiences in that store, I miss them now. There really isn't a great place in my immediate area to find new DVDs, and I have to go to another town to find some. Sucky as it may be. I've been ordering A LOT more online recently.

Maybe you should speak to the mayor of K-Pax about getting the rents lowered.

Kinda sad news, but with shitty customer service you can't help not chuckle a little bit

And then finally, when there's nothing left, when you can't borrow another buck from the bank or buy another case of booze, you bust the joint out. You light a match.

What city are you in? For some reason I thought you were in Portland like me. If so, which BB is this that you're talking about?
