Cheshire Standby store closes doors

I'm still trying to figure out what a "standby" store is, however. Perhaps the headline writer thought stationery and wrote standby.

That's what happens when you use a Thesaurus to find your headline words instead of, oh, I don't know, actually reading the story.:-)

And when did 'Morty' meet the payroll out of his own pocket? lol

your paper is really great for one thing, giving it to students to find all the mistakes that are made.

Local Guy: Your comment is completely false. I am curious about people like you who have the time to write these nonsensical, inaccurate lies. Maybe you should consider working...I have to take time out of my 50 hour week to write this response so that the North Adams folk do not get panic stricken.

Just go in and ask the employees they will tell you, they know they are next, it might be weeks or a couple months, but its coming.
With $2500 a month rent, payroll, ect...and .99 cent knock off brand cards how can you turn a profit?
They used to have nice stuff when Tom and Helga running it.

And it is a fact it is or was For Sale.
And as sad as it would be to loose another long time merchant, certianly no one is "panic stricken"

HMmm, thats a suprise to the faculty club operator I guess:
http://faculty-club.williams.edu/... They still think they have lunch.
No more greens at Taconic???? And Morty lost $600,000,000? Did you just fly in from some other planet? If so I'll give you a quick recap, Economy BAD, Market down.(Morty didn't personally do this, external forces did.) Faculty club lunch, talked about it, still might do it, once again no one layed off that I know of yet. Taconic greens? Lots of work being done to fix that.

Glenn, the Topix headline still has: "Cheshire Standby store closes doors" is that a transcript thing, or a Topix thing?

Is this a Politically Correct Statement, or What?
