There was a chicken restaurant that had a hand painted sign which was poorly done. There were bars on the windows and the windows had ads for cigarettes and prepaid cellphones. It eventually got shut down due to distributing drug paraphernalia.

There used to be one I just couldn't understand. It was one of those stores you commonly see on the road side with many products related to our local culture. They could theoretically make a ton of money selling that stuff to tourists if the store was next to a gas station or something, but it was deep inside the town in a very low traffic street, with no advertisement. Non-tourists would have a need for their products once every few years at most and it could be found on regular stores as well. There was just no way that store could be profitable.

But then they started selling rotisserie chicken and I became their regular. A couple years later they shut down.

There was once, but the gang and I set a trap, caught the monster, and now it's just a pawn shop.

My poor Rust Belt town, the downtown is slowly turning into a tourist trap. There was a very chichi high end retail children's store that has now been rebranded......using a non profit foundation's name...all owned by the same people. No one goes in or out, no one seems to work there. No one ever makes deliveries there of any kind, although they purport to be part of a non profit dedicated to sending care packages to comfort children in cancer hospitals. None of the clothing or toys ever change or get moved around, they're not even making an effort.

Di solito viaggio in Polesine, dove vivono i miei parenti. Ma grazie per l'avvertimento.

There's a furniture store that is never open that I go by a lot which I find odd, but I don't know if it's shady. We literally do have Mafia in my city though.
