So what? In my 72 years I have seen multiple motorcycle dealers, bicycle dealers, car dealers, clothing stores, furniture stores, restaurants, RV dealers, boat dealers, factories, motels, gas stations, donuts shops, taverns, golf courses, schools and hardware stores close.

This Quad City area of Illinois and Iowa is about 350,000 population and has had recessions about every ten years for the past 60 years. There used to be a Schwinn Dealer in every town now there are none.

Things change and we have no control at all.
