Gas Tax Wars/Victoria's Secret Closings

How many miles a year do you drive? 12,000? That's an average according to our governor. If that's your number, then you can expect to pay $55.00 a year more for gasoline if the new 56% tax increase passes.

The upcoming week is expected to be pivotal in the tax vote. If you oppose the tax, contact your representatives now or forever hold your peace.

Victoria's Secret currently owns 1,143 outlets in the U.S. On Thursday, the lingerie giant announced that 53 of those stores would close by the end of 2019. Taking a cue from J.C. Penney, VS refused to list those outlets, stating only that they had already been chosen. Florence has one VS store located in the mall on Cox Creek Parkway.

Sorry, Hon. Dollar General Was the Only Store in Town.
