In my immediate vacinity, I only know of one business that around any more
that closed during the past year. An appliance shop that had been around for
at least a decade that I'm aware of. They sold used appliances, and the
former property owner of the mobile home park where I rent space for my
trailer used them often when he needed to replace tge appliances for his
rental units.

When the lockdown restrictions first started around here, I noticed they
weren't open.  I assumed that either they weren't considered "essential
business" or that since it was primarily older gentlemen working there they
were being cautious.  

Time passed, and I noticed the sign on the building was moved to the wall of
the building across the side street from them, which actually made sense
because that's where most of the people parked to load up.  But still tge
place wasn't open that I coukd tell, unless they were doing by appointment. 

Then all of the appliances were gone, but the signs were still there. I saw
people working on the building, replacing sheetrock and the like.  

Now there is a For Lease sign up.
