Actually, I believe Circuit City is on a hiatus of sorts. Last I heard they were keeping the internet storefront open and when their profits rebounded, the stores (at least some of them) were going to reopen.
That said, I do prefer Best Buy. Circuit City tended to be more expensive around here. Best Buy also has a better music section.
Really?? That would explain the Circuit City e-mails I have been getting (and here I just thought they were clever spam)

Yea, you can go to their Web site and check it out.
That is not gender specific, it is lifestyle, culture, and value specific. I am sad by passing of old businesses...some! Especially if there reminded me of my childhood, some of my favorite places, etc.
I am still very, very upset by the passing of Circuit City, and refuse to step into Best Buy since!
Yes! I loved being able to buy something on CircuitCity.com and have it ready at the store by the time I got there.

Yes, no, and not entirely. The Circuit City company itself is deader than Must See Monday, but Systemax bought the CircuitCity.com domain and branding, so the website is back to offering good deals. As far as I know, the physical stores won't be at a mall near you.
Why do women seem so unaffected by the passing of old businesses (restaurants, stores, etc).
Men are so much more sentimental about these things, I've found.
But women can be so cold and uncaring, it seems. You wouldn't expect that.
How come?
I am very upset when a business goes under, especially when I am a patron of that business. I have very good relationships with many merchants I buy junk from (junk being treasures) and was very sad to see one of the best merchants I've ever known go under last weekend. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that most consumers are buying stuff that is easy to access, relationships between merchant and buyer are more casual there, but if you are buying handcrafted or unusual items you are more likely to connect with the merchant. I think the women that you are talking about are not that type of buyer.

It just seems that guys are more likely to talk about this kind of stuff. And whenever I ask women about something in the past, they usually don't remember as much as a man seems to.
While I'm sure it's not an issue with a woman's ability to remember this stuff, I do find there are more men who seem to share my hobby of photographing retro business ruins and the like. It's definitely not a "one size fits all" thing though, but I've found this hobby to run about 30/70 leaning male. (Not bad for a single woman )
I've been searching out stuff like old Wieboldts and Sprouse Reitz stores though. There weren't enough Woolworths near me.
