Don't know if it's a nationwide thing or not, but Suncoast Video is closing at least some of their stores. Here in Pinellas County (FL), we had two Suncoast locations -- at Countryside Mall and at Tyrone Square. The Countryside location closed in February -- apparently without notice. The Tyrone location is now in the process of closing, and has taken a 25% discount on most of their items -- anime included.
Suncoast, though they were on the pricey side, had a great selection of anime, plus some anime soundtracks and Japanese snack food. Best Buy (notorious for only selling the first DVD of some anime series) and FYE doesn't have the same selection or variety as Suncoast.
Looks like Animenation's the only game in town, and now I have to make a list before I visit them (they removed the "browsing" area at their Tampa HQ the last couple of months).
Any other Suncoasts closing?
