In early 2009, more than 34, 000 American workers lost their jobs and one of retail's greatest stories of entrepreneurship abruptly came to an end. After 60 years in business and a presence in every major U.S. city, Circuit City seemed to just disappear. How and why did it happen? A Tale of Two Cities: The Circuit City Story is a feature-length documentary that chronicles the fascinating history of the consumer electronics retailer - from its humble beginnings as the family-owned Wards TV, to its meteoric rise to become the nation's largest specialty retailer of consumer electronics, to its tragic slide into bankruptcy and liquidation. It seeks to capture the entrepreneurial spirit of the Wurtzel family, as well as examine the leadership challenges in later years that eventually brought down the Fortune 500 company. The documentary tells the tale of two "Cities:" one that went from good to great, and the other that went from great to gone. The film features interviews with Alan Wurtzel, the son of the company's founder and the creator of the Circuit City brand. CarMax co-founder and CEO Austin Ligon also shares his insights, along with former Circuit City associates and executives, many of whom lost life-long careers when the company shut down. Other contributors include faculty from the University of Richmond's Robins School of Business, former Circuit City vendors, and key figures from WTVR - the South's first television station. The documentary was written, directed and produced by Tom Wulf, a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism who spent 24 years in various senior management positions with Circuit City and CarMax. Adam Rosenberg, graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University with a degree in Kinetic Imaging, provided graphics, animations, and post-production editing. Music is by Kevin MacLeod.

By 2008, Circuit City held court as the most successful electronics retailer in the U.S.; one year later, over 34, 000 executives and store employees lost their jobs, the company filed for bankruptcy and liquidation, and the brand was soon extinct. But how did this happen? This documentary profile travels behind the scenes to answer that very question. It begins with a chronological history of the company, from its inception as Wards TV, through its rise to Fortune 500 status, through the problems the plagued its final year. What emerges is a portrait of a company besieged by leadership issues that it could not handle. The program features interviews with Alan Wurtzel, the son of the company founder, and Austin Ligon, founder and CEO of CarMax, as well as a series of ex-Circuit City vendors.

ToadWorks Fat City is a dual channel overdrive device. It consists of two completely separate and unique overdrive circuits, as well as a boost circuit, capable of increasing both the volume and the sustain. In addition, The clean boost is re-routable via a mini toggle switch located directly above the boost pot. This allows you to place the boost in front of, or after the overdrive circuits, and it's all True Bypass. Overdrive 1 is thick and complex, with a midrange control and plenty of gain on tap. Perfect for heavy lead and rhythm work, this overdrive begs you to get your rawk on. Overdrive 2 is smooth and warm, with a presence control and remarkably realistic breakup. Rock, R&B, Country - you name it, this does it. The real magic happens when both overdrives are combined to create the "Fat City" sound - the combined gain structures result in a heavy, yet surprisingly defined sound. Tight and punchy, yet warm and dynamic, the "Fat City" sound is the ultimate in analog overdrive. This may well be the last overdrive you ever buy. Welcome to Fat City.
