Car Pros Chrysler Jeep in Carson is one of the 789 dealerships set to close nationwide as the automaker downsizes.
More bad economy news: El Segundo aerospace powerhouse Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems will lay off about 100 employees, executives announced Thursday.
And finally, Breeze education writer Vu Nguyen remains on life support and in a coma but is not expected to survive after going into cardiac arrest last weekend. Needless to say, the mood in our usually lively newsroom is somber in his absence.
Vu covered most of our local school districts, and also contributed to the School Notebook blog. In addition to all that, he was the sweetest man, kind and thoughtful, with an amazing sense of humor. He loved his family, apologized when he swore and, best of all, loved a good newspaper story. We miss him deeply here, and wish his wife and family well.
