On the major blvd. here, the VW, Toyota and Honda dealerships have expanded.

Many independent (pre-owned) auto dealers are gone, in the last few months.

One good change that took place (before the ‘crisis’) was the demise of Good Guys electronics (though I liked them) and ultimate placement on same site of a huge Petsmart store, complete with beautiful ‘pet hotel.’ My dog loves that!
