It's Refreshing - I'm Seeing A Number Of Signs Out There Signaling A Economic Recovery.......

Has anyone noticed - I've passed by a lot of businesses that have signs up outside that say HELP WANTED or WE'RE HIRING.

Also - many commercial buildings (real estate) that were left vacant as a result of business going under since 2008 are now being re-birthed and new business are starting up in them.

Restaurants are busy and crowded again. Shopping malls are teeming with people - and they actually are carrying bags of items that they bought. Movie houses are busy as people are starting to venture out and take in some of the latest movies being released.

Gas prices seemed to have leveled off and are going down. A couple of weeks ago I paid $4.49/gal at a Speedway gas station - last night I filled up my tank and it was $4.05/gal.

I live in the Chicago area and this is what I'm seeing. Is this happening in other parts of the country or is this something just happening here?

If Bush was still in office you would be complaining that they are nothing but McJobs, low paying non union blah blah blah.

1. Trends definitely positive, imo.

Will take time, of course, and many will continue to complain.

Just wait until Memorial day weekend when gas prices soar. Then in June we will hear how the economy unexpectedly tanked. :whatever:

Wasn't Baghdad Bob killed in action, or something?

Or is he still in this time and place, and hanging around on Skins's island?

Why is it that these quoted economists are always surprised by the economy. How can supposedly smart people always be surprised by the unexpected?

You know what I see in a pretty well insulated town? 30% of downtown storefronts for rent or blank But hey it's all good because the hotel tax is higher than they expected and higher than last year. You just have to forget that now with all this wonderful economic growth from King Barry we are almost, almost back up to 2002 levels.

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!!

Convincing people that were doing great under the Bush prosperity years that others were doing poorly because it was the worst economy since the great depression at 4.3% unemployment is easier than convincing them they are doing well when 8 years of wealth creation has been knocked out of household wealth in the last three years.

DUmpmonkey losers were never customers there in the first place.

From the height of the Great Bush Prosperity until now, I've not seen the slightest change in those places.

Thanks - I have a few old Photoshops in the Pictures and Photoshop forum -
Ive just been so busy, I haven't had time to crank any out in the last few years, and since I have been doing photo restoration, I get kinda sick of the process after a while.
