Barely anyone worried about Mayan apocalypse
Updated: December 21, 2012
CHAMPAIGN -- There's less than two hours left in
our day And as you can tell, the world hasn't ended.
And it appears most people weren't
worried about it.
At Do It Best Hardware store in Champaign,
it was just a normal work week.
Nobody came rushing in to buy
generators or supplies.
The owner says the Y2K scare 12 years
ago did bring in extra business. But the end of the Mayan calendar did not.
"We really saw no change in the
normal movement through here. Nothing, absolutely nothing. In fact, nobody ever
really brought it up," said owner George Edwards.
Edwards says there was a long line of
customers outside his store this morning. But it was only to buy salt after
last night's blizzard.
