>CHECK YOUR FACTS FIRST!!!!

well, this makes the -fourth- set of "facts" i've heard regarding mondo
closing, selling, whatever. two conflicting sets from mondo "insiders",
even. there are no facts, just vague histories of alleged consensus.
everything is rumor.

>but lemme tell you what's *really* scary, though.

idunno if i can get too upset that a big chain video store is coming in to
replace a locally owned restaurant that charges astronomical prices for
food that is good not great and caters to a pretty corporate crowd.
blockbuster will hire a lotta college kids who won't make as much as well
tipped waiters with degrees, but the waits are all gonna go take their
art history degrees and work at any one of several other chi-chi places
opening up around here. in the end, same shit, different day. chapel
hill gets another notch in their cookie-cutter faux-colonial "village"
character, with a matching blockbuster video for its blockbuster records,
its gap, its caribou coffee, and its bodyworks. consensus gets what it wants.
