I just read an article on Vocal about how Six Flags is shutting down any leftover parks this month in November. I started getting really depressed thinking about it. I've seen the end of so many of my beloved companies and brands. I had to watch Kmart and Sears go down. I had to watch Payless Shoe Source and Albertson's Grocery kick the bucket.
