The business of liquidation:

On a side note, I'm kinda p!ssed I didn't find out earlier that Steve & Barry's was going out of business. For the past few years, I'd go down to visit Homey B and Queen Zeus in Windsor. We'd cross over to Michigan and I'd go to S&B's because I could buy kick @$$ comic T-shirts for about $5-$6 a piece. When they liquidated, they were selling 5 for $5.

$20 woulda kept me satisfied for the next couple of years :(
