One small business went out
that was building construction materials. However Lowes and Home Depot
are still around.

They sell Chinese products on the cheap. They are still pretty slow.
You certainly have no problem finding a parking space. Finding someone
who knows anything in the store is tough tho. They are running pretty
lean.
Their business model is "this is a do it yourself store", If you want
to find something, do it yourself. If you want it tied on your car, do
it yourself. Most HD/Lowes these days even want you to check your
stuff out yourself.

I hate all the Chinese crap they sell. I look for alternatives
whenever possible. It's getting harder every day.
