Imperial Valley Update: Stores Closing, Blue Angels, Serie del Caribe
Maureen Cavanaugh: The Imperial Valley has been hit hard by the nationwide economic recession.

But the overall number of people in the Imperial County with negative equity did decrease in 2008, and there are some hopeful signs that big events and new construction could ease the sting of the economic downturn.
