Last I checked Palace Jewelry and Loan is still doing guns.
But like others said, taxes. Politicians said it would decrease gun crime, but all it really did was kill businesses.

That doesn't mean the main street needs to be a parking lot.
Strong Towns has a lot of research and material on how smaller towns like this can build more economically viable communities by avoiding this type of development. Particularly relevant here: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2020/9/4/seven-key-differences

>I don’t view it as a problem.
This whole thread started with you complaining about rush hour traffic, so clearly you do.
And so do I: rush hour drivers get really aggressive, and it makes me feel unsafe while walking. I really wish they'd make better live choices rather than taking out their anger on pedestrians by running red lights, blocking crosswalks, etc :(

So get get from work with something other than a car?
Cars take up a huge amount of space. I realize you want to drive everywhere, but it's just not a feasible option for everyone to do that. Look at LA for an example of what happens when you try to build a metro area like that. If anything we should be investing more in non-car options in order to improve the driving experience.
Good video on this: https://youtu.be/d8RRE2rDw4k

It is when rush hour gets bad enough.

Or just don't drive at rush hour? If you are in a car at rush hour then you are part of the problem.

Yeah, this story really doesn't pass a sanity check. I feel like I'd need to try to get a ticket around here, so it's really difficult to imagine that the OP just got pulled over for no reason at all.

Go to Umbria, Victrola, Fulcrum, or Starbucks Reserve. Ask the staff for a recommendation based on the tasting notes you called out, or just browse their selection and find something similar.

Eat dicks! That type of thing isn't the same in Canada.

Second this. Uwajimaya is a great old Japanese American local business, dating back to pre-internment days. Much better place for a tourist than a budget grocery store chain.
