US Department Stores.

[Ian Gentles]

Listening to bloomberg.com and talk was on crisis facing many department stores, Macey's etc. Do you see some of those stores going under as the spender isnt spending much anymore?

[BobHunt]

Ian, did you see that Macys is going under? Here, near Chicago, they just changed what used to be called Marshal Fields to Macys..but they still make the Franko Mints! They are wonderful!

Boise still has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation but with gas prices high and climbing and real estate sales slowed a bit my map business is down considerable but the Macy's, JCPenneys, Kohls, Target Shopko and Fred Meyer all seem to be steady.
