These "Store for Rent" sides have been spreading throughout the west side over the past year or so. Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here (kudos to those who get the reference), but the proliferation of banks and Chipotles, etc. in place of long-loved local stores sucks. I'm all for progress, but as these signs show, a lot of these businesses were forced out by rising rents and the landlords demanding these rents have nothing to fill the space. Serves them right, I guess. Hopefully the maintenance of these fallow storefronts is teaching these folks a lesson.
