Now that town looks like any other town, full of the same shit owned by a few huge corporations like every other town.
See what I'm saying?

yeah, its happening so fast that people don't even stop to realize. they think, oh thats nice i have a tommy store or a wal mart or a boston pizza, etc etc close by now..people love familiar things and these corporate brands are huge and known by all. people know what they are getting when they go there but don't know what they are missing out with the individual owned restruants and stores that are dead or dying. main street is dead. they are building the exact same set ups of stores, the exact same style of buildings in every minor and major city around here. people will feel so warm and cozy knowing everything is the same..everywhere you go.
