10. I answered the phone once at such a time. He complained, but talked to his Mom, too.
Because she heard his indignant growls and started laughing.

9. Circuit City still exists..Systemax bought the name
And "restarted" it as an online business. They also own Tiger Direct and CompUSA (which also went bankrupt), although there are still a few CompUSA B&M locations open.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_City_Stores

On May 19, 2009, it was announced that the Circuit City brand name, logo, and website had been purchased by Systemax Inc. for US$14 million, which had also previously acquired the CompUSA brand after the store chain's liquidation. Systemax relaunched the circuitcity.com website on May 22, 2009, as an online retailer of consumer electronics. The revived site's front page looks similar to the original front page, while other pages have a similar appearance and flow of Systemax's CompUSA.com and TigerDirect.com's pages.It sells the same products as the TigerDirect and CompUSA sites.

8. CC was truly home of the sleazy stereo salesman. And that returns counter was
a nightmare.

12. How can you camp out in front of a store that hasn't existed in years?
Is that some weird existentialist thing I'm not aware of?

14. Awesome
Betcha can find some perfectly good fixtures, carpet remnants, and odd shaped pieces of drywall that can be pried out, at a great price. Be sure to take a hammer, crowbar, saw, etc.

18. good luck -- and be aware that they'll demand to see your receipt when you leave
Whether you show it or refuse the request is up to you, of course, but either way I hope you'll post about it.
