The economy is having an effect on all business. The negative news coming out everyday has a bad effect on spending for unnecessary items or entertainment. Look at the land base casinos drop in income and big drop in stock prices. People will hang on to their money more till there is more positives in the market place. People are just not feeling well off these days with the stock market and housing crashing. Until we see a bottom and then hopefully a upswing in the economy I think business will be down for most.
