17. The premiere antique store and a vintage shop have closed

I don't go downtown much. When I drove by Sat. I saw that the antique store on Front St. was closed and empty. I liked that place. It's been there for years. The owner was a little younger than I am. I was surprised it is closed. On the way out to my neighborhood, there was a vintage shop with vendors. It is closed and the building is for sale.

I think it's true that people are holding off buying things for homes new or used, whether they own or rent. I closed my booth in March, knowing that felon was going to make any enterprise a challenge to keep afloat (and, didn't want to reduce my part in his economy) I'm in groups on fb whose members buy and sell in the secondary market. They have noted that unless things are priced super cheap and are useful, they aren't selling. Other people, I think here on DU, noted that even if Good Will isn't selling new things, they are marking up their used stuff for some reason. They seem to be forgetting that many of their buyers are there because they can't afford shopping for new things.
