Well maybe not over in the sense of traditional economic measures (unemployment, GDP, etc). But certainly finding a new international store carrying Hitachino Nest beer is a sign of good things to come right? It's like the Obama says, "Crisis is a great time for opportunity." In this case, after being dealt a serious blow with the tragic loss of Hitachino Nest beer a few weeks ago due to our favorite international store closing, I was devastated. However, that loss led us to find a new international store this weekend that is actually closer to home, and which offers a bigger selection of beverages.
Oh yeah, and the new location has a fine selection of giant over-sized jugs-o-whiskey. I figure it can double as a great buffer for the recession as well as an economic alternative until I can afford to be a Hitachino beer snob again.
