Well, my sources are direct from the spring.... a I know quite some LGS, even some chains and I also know the folks running these shop very well.

keep the info coming. i don't buy it all, but it sure is a good read. I always say there are three sides to a story.. the person who is telling it's side, the other person's side and the truth.. most time we never hear all the facts..

personally, most flgs that go under were/are their own worst enemy. they don't have the finances to run in the first place and end up chocking themselves.

as for northern VA, I live there. I can only think of one store that went belly up (and I heard there were a few staff borrowing and giving large discounts to others.. ) so, where do you go from there? hmmm the rumormill still runs and it dumps water everyday.. some of it sewer water and some of it clean.. the problem it the pool is full of crap now.
