Yesterday's Vidette said that CDI (Cabinet Distributors) outside of Elma has closed. This was the outfit that expanded and moved to the Value Ford site a couple years ago.

Also, Famous Footwear told employees today they are closing at the end of the month. If anyone is interested in hiring an 18 year old who managed to impress her bosses in her first month of her first real job, let me know.

On the plus side, Past and Present Mercantile, a quasi-antique mall has been open next to Waugh's for a month or so. I was in yesterday and found it to have a decent selection for a startup in Aberdeen.

And, just this afternoon I noticed a new cycle gear shop has opened where Olympic Veterinary used to be.

Go have a toke at the new ecigs next to Amore

Or roll your own cigarettes at Myrtle and Simpson.

Famous Footwear's last day open is now scheduled for January 21.
