You know you're in the middle of a recession when...

...you book a trip on "Best Tours" bus line and end up in a Wal-Mart parking lot.

Note: there are a ton of parking lots closer to major highways and restaurants than this particular Wal-Mart, leading me to believe this was neither a rest stop nor pick-up. Also in the shopping center of this Wal-Mart, there is nothing but a cigarette shop (closed), beauty supply shop (closed), pizza parlor (closed), and a McDonalds (waaaaaaaaaaay on the other side of the shopping center, about 2000 feet away from the bus). My conclusion, this was the destination of this trip. :)
