Transition

It was announced today that Martin Lumber is closing and that we will no longer have any independent lumber yards in the city. We recently lost our last new car dealership. We are very low on local pharmacies. We still have some hardware stores, but not as many as we used to. We have food deserts from the disappearances of grocery stores. Local banks are disappearing although some local credit unions are filling part of the gap.

Thankfully, we still have a few restaurants and one can still get a pizza locally made by a local outfit and eggs and bacon cooked by somebody who knows where the capitol of the state is.
