Bargains Go Bye-Bye

Filene’s Basement files Chapter 11 - Washington Business Journal:: 

"Filene’s, which employs 1,900 workers, recorded an operating loss of $53.1 million on $422.1 million in sales for the year ended Jan. 31, according to a bankruptcy filing."

I sure hope the Connecticut Ave location stays open. Whenever I forget socks or rip through a pair of pants while working in the comedy coal mine, I always skedaddle over to Filene's. I wish her and her basement the best.
