Go drive around into small towns in Indiana or Illinois and look at all the empty buildings that used to be businesses.
The good old days are a thing of the past if you ask me.

You aren't kidding there!
When I was a youngster, I remember being able to spot a race car of some sort at many small gas stations and dealers repair garages, in any part of town I went to. The local tire store had a sprint car, the "old" teenager down the street had a "coupe" that he raced at Heidelberg, guy on the next block had a roadster with 2 carburetors.
I was just a little kid then and it was all pretty exciting to me.
Today it's just not like that anymore. Average people seem to have less time, less mad money, and more distractions.
