Rite Aid Still Sucks

Isn't there a bank somewhere that will offer Rite Aid an offer it can't refuse? How about Chase or North Fork? The closest branch they have is quite far, all of two blocks away! You would think that with all the banks cropping up on 13th Avenue, some financial whiz looking to capitalize on the mortgage boom would at least consider the Rite Aid site.

Or better yet, how about razing it to the ground and constructing a giant monument as a memorial to the once great empire of customer dissatisfaction? That's where they're headed anyhow; aground. Bob, an old friend of mine tells me "but we need them (Rite Aid). Where else can you get a live report and complete and thorough replay of the days' game?". Be it football, baseball, hockey, soccer, lacrosse, figure skating, wrestling, basketball, tennis or golf (to name a few) they replay all the highlights of the game (in slow motion of course, they were after all trained by Rite Aids slowest) with poof balls, loofahs and the occasional profanity. "I cancelled my ESPN subscription" he tells me.

Hey bankers/investors, wake up! It's 13th Avenue. If you don't grab it someone else will.
