Foxboro - you'd never know there was a reccession, place was packed. I cashed in my Christmas gift cards and got some oil for the boat, some snaggers, hooks, plastic cases and a few other things. couldnt believe the lines......

I was there today....brought my son, picked up some stuff for the freshwater season.

Place was packed.....

spring fever

Friend that works there has been working 40+ since Nov.

Truly amazing. I want to see the outside fish ponds when the are up and running.

spring fever

Yup,
Took my Son there last week with the Reaper and there was a ton of people

I took a ride out to Red Top and M&D's saturday morning. There was one spot left in the parking lot in Red Top, and I had to park out by the river at M&D's. Driving from red top to MD's there was all kinds of vacant commercial property and going out of business signs.

It is interesting where people spend thier money when times are bad. Purchases like cars and furniture people hold off on, but passion hobbies, people still spend money on. I went with the girl to Micheals craft supply, and they too where packed, but there was a closed Circuit City next door.
