Since the economy hit the fan about five years or more ago what have you lost in your town or city that you loved so dear?

For me it be the mom and pop shops that were all through out the town. Ones that i grew up with. Stores that were unique to this town . Even the family restuarants have changed. Not many of those around anymore. There used to be a ton and more prefered then any chain restaurant around. Now all i see is chain restaurants were family ones used to be & mom and pop shops replaced by bigger bussineses which is a shame. Losing all that is like losing apart of what built this town and its identity

I can think of a lot of things but the one that comes to mind most is FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!  UNDER THE RULE OF THE TRAITOR-IN-CHIEF WE ARE BECOMING A SOCIALIST NATION AND I, FOR ONE, AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freedom is the most important thing anyone can lose and the way it is going we are going to lose a lot more. Also our little town used to be a thriveing place and then the railrode moved out and then the freeway came along and just destroyed us. I miss so many of the mom and pop stores here. God willing and the creek don't rise maybe it will grow some. We used to have 3 grocery stores and now we only have one. But we are lucky enough that we travel to a bigger city and by or groceries and such. A lot of the people here cannot and i feel badly for them. The 1 grocery store here is so over priced.
