Pizza, liquor store, and churches

Depending on your area, the common thread is: What is located on every corner.

Just lost trying to find a fire pit in a concrete jungle wishing it was a wooded glen...

if it wasn't for bad luck, I would have no luck at all

I haven't been to NYC for a whole but as I remember hookers are on every corner around 9th and 32nd, drugs can be found further uptown and dirty dogs and street vendors around midtown -
Times Square. Here on LI there are more strip malls than corners and there are a dozen pizza shops, deli's and bagel shops within a 1 or 2 mile area. That's a dozen each.
LIJake when was the last time you came to the city?! Most of that has been cleaned up especially with Guilianni. Bloomberg went lax however he has decided to get rough once more.

It isn't NE without DD smiling smiley I counted 9 in a ten mile radius and I bet I missed one or two!
Where I live there is exactly one traffic light and three of the four corners are buildings awaiting demolition. The 4th corner is a tiny bank, other than a bank, small diner and a convenience store that's only open when the owner feels like it we have no other businesses here.

What is beside me is a health centre, dental office and a condo. In the corner is a gasoline station and convenience store. A stone's throw away is a Public School. Across it is a Separate School. Beside it is a Tennis Court. A minute walk is a Catholic Church. Beside it is a Protestant Church. Across is a popular open mall. Everything I need is a short walking distance away from me.
nbgirl, I .live in a town of 32000 people/less than 6 square miles...we have 5 DDs! Don't know how Honey Dew stays in business.
Walgreen's. Walgreen's, Walgreen's, Walgreen's. "Turn at the Walgreen's" will get your friends
lost for sure. It has become ridiculous.

For poor urban areas: pawn shops, dollar stores and loan shops.

For Sedona: restaurant, Native American jewelry shop, and jeep tours stop.

For the Navajo Rez: Food stands (mutton stew, fry bread and Navajo tacos), beads stands (inexpensive silver jewelry for tourists), and pick-up trucks gathered to sell either firewood or hay.

This is an interesting observation!

Anyone know where theaters, banks and jewelry stores would be the norm? Irene?
In Southern California, it's pretty common to have at least three corners of the four filled by gas stations.
Starbucks, Doughnut shop, Ralphs, Rite-aid, Pizza, restaurant/brewery, Bank and of course, McD.....with 6 SB in town,
3 Peet's and 4 Coffee Beans. The mall 2 miles has it all, per above post.....jewelry, Movies, and whatever your little heart desires, even massage's.

Yes. Where there isn't a Walgreen's, there's a CVS or a bank. Did you move
to my area?

Our small town has 5 auto supply stores, 3 check-cashing shops and two mattress stores. Oh and 4 different dollar stores (Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Dollar General and Deals). And yet, we have no good restaurants sad smiley
I can tell by his description that IMT is in FL. Perfect!

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
Mountains, steel mills, and auto plants

(Not really, just throwing a curve ball towards stillearning's atlas...)
Still--But we have a lot of corners like IMT's around here, too, and I am
nowhere near Florida.
