:The Last Will and Testament of Circuit City
The Last Will and Testament of Circuit City

(Other stories by Harry McCracken)

"All U.S. stores are therefore closing forever as of tomorrow. And so I made what will almost certainly be my last visit ever to my local Circuit City today, six days after I found it had been reduced to selling used cleaning supplies. Back on Monday, it still stocked some factory-fresh consumer electronics products, too--albeit at discounts too low to send anyone into a shopping frenzy. Today, with 24 hours to go, very little worth buying at any price was still available...

"After the jump, a final set of fuzzy iPhone photos from the scene of the sale. I wonder how long it'll take the landlord to fill the space, and what will replace Circuit City there--and in the 566 other storefronts that the chain’s failure leaves without a tenant?

"As I wended my way towards the store, I noticed that the huge STORE CLOSING banner was gone. I don't think this is a clue they're having second thoughts. And it probably doesn't mean they sold it to anyone, although that would be kind of cool."
