The Midwest seems to have a problem....

I live in a town of 5000. I remember moving here almost 40 years ago and literally, every other door front in the business district was a bar. There must have been 30 bars and 3 grocery stores. We're down to one grocery and about 15 bars. It may be tough to find a shopping cart at the store, but a bar stool is always empty.
