Things are very bad.
I went to a place I had not been to in several years, but had previously been to many times in the not so distant past.
In one precise spot, two major well-known family-oriented chain restaurants had closed, with the buildings shuttered and some graffiti.
Another "fun" ethnic destination restaurant that previously attracted many large groups was almost entirely empty.
And I got "served" by multiple trannies in just three days.
