Secondly, my boss... JJ has had his house up for sale for 78 days now. It's a nice 3 bedroom condo townhouse. It started at $192,000. He's been sitting on it for a while now and now it's been lowered to $189,900.
Fortunately, his house is in a 300 unit development. There were a total of 8 houses on the market at the begining of this month. Last week there were 4 closings in the same week. So now there are only 4 houses up for sale including JJ's.
So it appears to me the economy is not getting any better.

However, with all of that said I am happy to report that our DVD Sales are up 60%, and our memberships are up 30% (these figures are from last year).
So we are noticing a great profit margin here... it's just it's being lost at the gas pumps and lowering of the house sale price.
Yes we are doing good as well. But when times are hard bars and porn always pick up.
People are looking to escape all the shit thats going on.
