Fuck it all...even my favorite CANDLE store has gone belly-up. THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH.

Used to have a store in Valley Fair Mall, and I was going to go tomorrow but went to the Web Site first to check prices. Here's what I found:

1. Yep, the one in downtown Seattle closed awhile back too.

I was really disappointed.

2. So I guess I won't be getting any candles for my new place

heading up to SJ next month. :hi:

3. I know all of the good restaurants...

...so when you get here, if you want some inside tips, just let me know.

:toast:

4. I'm not sure I can afford any of the good ones

but it's sure good to know there are DUers up there (Opihi is on the other side of the island from me).

5. I'm all for shitting on Bush...

but this really seems a bit of a stretch...

6. Awww...we used to have one in Annapolis

But stores are always leaving in this mall; they don't last long here.

7. that's a bummer... I don't really like Yankee Candle, either...

too smelly. I like much more subtle scents.

Three of my favorite home decorating magazines went under in the last 10 months, too -- Cottage Living, Domino and House and Garden.
