I agree with Jonathan Marcus except I think Rushmore Drive will make it. Remember Diller's still pushing vertical search (NASCAR is a new Ask vertical). Plus, its Black History Month and IAC would be crazy to piss of that community by closing a business that's been open less than a year and by my quick look at its traffic is showing promise. Just my two cents . . . The rest of the stuff should all be closed or sold.
