<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 10287292, member: 79705&quot;]I asked an antique mall owner about how sales were last year during peak traffic time, and he said they were way down. Their shop is in the heart of our tourist area and it&#039;s a very approachable place with good prices situated amongst historical buildings and other draws like a vintage clothing seller. He said he assumed it was related to most middle class folk&#039;s struggles with &quot;inflation&quot; (corp price gouging).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve done the math and was pretty sure going the antique mall route wouldn&#039;t be better for me than what I already do, and he told me now was a bad time for sure anyway. If the owner who makes the rent tells you that ...well I&#039;m going to listen!</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t live anywhere near where you do, but I suspect the middle class squeeze has gotten much worse since then.... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie48" alt=":grumpy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
