My Car is Broken – Where are All the Automotive Stores?
I live in a city where there is five of everything. As a result I never gave it a thought when my car broke down in a small town. I asked someone for directions to a garage which turned out to be the only one in town and was next door. I found out I had electrical problems and the Automotive Electrical Supplies would be ordered from the “city”. The mechanic walked over to a computer and ordered my parts. He said the town didn’t want to get big and impersonal and didn’t have to, now that they had the Internet. As I drove away from the pretty, friendly town the next day, I realized he had a point.
