Circuit City Stores Close Sunday - For Good

Walk through the automatic doors into what was once a store chock-full of TVs and stereos and bustling red-shirted associates — and you feel like you're in the wrong place. The place is fast becoming a ghost town, with a few scavengers scuttling around to pick clean the bones. The shelves are nearly empty except for a few stray printers. There are a few hard drives — 1 terabyte for $112 — a single $80 Panasonic HDTV digital receiver, a $400 wooden entertainment center marked down from $2,000. There are a lot of cables and wires, and lots of copies of the book, Digital SLR Cameras and Photography For Dummies — marked down from $30 to $2.99.

Kirk Howard of Washington, D.C., wanders along an aisle that was empty of everything except for a few lonely-looking laptops. "Actually, we were looking for some TVs and some DVDs."

Howard waxes nostalgic about the jobs being lost here and the store itself. "Back in the '70s, we used to shop here a whole lot," he said. "Seeing it go kind of does something to me a little bit, because they've been around for a while."
