I have a great pets.com story, to add a little light heartedness to a serious topic like this.
At their HQ the bottom floor had astroturf and a lot of windows. This is where the pet day care was for all of the employees. You'd walk past and see how great it was to work there - just look at the pet day care!
When they shut down, they shut down so suddenly that nobody cleaned up that area.
I forget how long that space was vacant, but I want to say it was roughly a year. You'd walk by the space and you'd see little doggie turds in various forms of decay on the nearly-neon astroturf. The dot com boom in a nutshell!
