these guys
http://www.oberweis.com/ are actually going strong and deliver milk, chocolate milk, lemonade, ice cream etc... in glass bottles and I don't live on a farm they deliver in Chicago and suburbs. I use to stop at one of their retail stores and get root beer floats etc... all the time, good shit. I think a lot of electronics repair jobs are gone as the labor to repair something would kill you when you can run out and get a new computer, stereo, tv etc... pretty cheap these days. I have also seen quite a few metal plating/metal finishing jobs gone in this area now due to the automotive collapse probably affecting automotive salesmen as well.
