Last night, I stopped by Meijer after class to pick up protein bars. Meijer is a convenient place to stop about every other week to buy a few necessities.
However, last night was very different.
The parking lot was empty.
In fact, several of the very closest parking positions were available. Probably only 20 cars occupied the entire parking lot.
It was almost eerie.
Usually, this place is hopping and it is necessary to park at least 5-10 positions into the parking lot. This empty parking lot was a pretty dramatic visual of our mounting economic woes.
Last week, Marshall County's unemployment rose to over 12%. This number is absolutely incredible and mind-boggling.
More troubling, though, are the faces behind those numbers.

I noticed the same thing just last week. I, too, made a stop at Meijer's around 7:30 p.m.-ish, and couldn't believe there were so few cars in the lot.
