They can't hear you now..<\/p>\n

This storefront, on Dutch Square Boulevard across from the mall, started out life as a Circuit City<\/i>, or at least that was the first I noticed it. It may have been marqueed as Dixie Hi-Fi<\/i> in the 1970s, before the chain adopted the Circuit City<\/i> name, but I can't say for sure. This store is more or less equivalent to the first Circuit City<\/i> location on Two Notch, now a bedroom store<\/a>, and like that store eventually moved twice, first to Bush River Road<\/a> and then to Harbison Boulevard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I lost track of the building after Circuit City<\/i> departed, but I'm pretty sure there were tenants after it and before Alltel Wireless<\/i>. I'm not sure when Alltel<\/i> moved in, but when Verizon bought Alltel in a deal sealed 9 Januray 2009<\/a>, the writing was on the wall for this store, and as you can see from the window placard, all Alltel<\/i> customers are being directed to Verizon<\/i> on Columbiana Drive.<\/p>\n

We'll see how it all settles out. In the meantime, I'm keeping my rotary dial phones and landline..<\/p>\n
