Five of them in one shopping center and three dollar stores. Our neighborhood could do better than this. There is also House of Pizza up the block in the other shopping center. To be honest, at our neighborhood meetings, we have addressed the issue of these business trying to stay open till two or three in the morning. We fight this everytime it comes up as we, the residents that surround the shopping centers and our quality of life is affected by these business. What is not mentioned is the trash that is left on our streets and sidewalks from these businesses and the smells that are emitted from their cooking. The trash becomes airborne and lands in our yards or the trees. Not many of us that live here even go to these places because they are far from being the best at their game.

Thank you for your comment, Florence. I'm sorry to hear about the trash, smells and other problems these businesses bring. Who do you think frequents the shops if it's not local residents? People driving home on their way to and from home to work?
