Does anyone remember all the stors closeing in the early 90s? Remember they would just shrink the store closer and closer to the entrance as the sold out of inventory. A week before they would close it was one register with like 6 shelves around it with the empty store behind it.

Every major city has a HUGE amount in independent shops.

No. Chain stores have existed since the first Walgreen's Drug Store decided to expand. There's always been chains in every city, especially in the cities. Maybe during the 1700's they were different.

I'm not saying chains didn't exist, but there were fewer of them and they didn't dominate.

Barely... About as faint a memory as the willingness to leave the house in any city.

The successive waves of "heads", from crack to meth to wtfe kinda inhibit quality city life for all but the wealthy & rich.

Bill Clinton was the death blow to anything traditional. I hope Trump kills him
