Perhaps only laundry or lavendria stores is there nothing more in my mind that brings down a look
of a community than thrift stores. Whether they are salvation army stores or Goodwill these clutterboxs are usually filled with junk and old female clothing and these stores add nothing to a community except cry out we have many poor people. It is not only poor people though who frequent these dull stores and buy clothing other people already owned and wore down. Mostly women of all ages and class seem to really enjoy going to these stores and adding to the junk collection they have before tiring of it and having a garage sale. This cycle of old clothes and junk gets played out over and over again I the sprawl hinterland of boring Suburbia. One can just drive often and see even more numerous smaller resale shops everywhere whose business lifespan seems to last two years. These resale shops tend to be smaller and in more of the gaudy run down six store corner strip malls across America. The Milwaukee and Chicago area has their share of these dull stores and like I said they do not last long and I am sure owners frequently go out of business and then get a new bank loan for another store at a different location. These Sanford and Son type junk stores are a blight on any community and would be better put in locations not around reputable business that actually sell fresh stuff.
