It's a neighbourhood that has always been proud of its "walk-ability" (even though most people seem to drive to work and away for the weekends). As a car-less person, I really hope the shops can come back, but it's prime real estate. It's the sort of community that would fight hard against a Walmart.<br /><br />The barber shop, Rob, has been there forever, or at least for the past thirty-two years under the current owner and I suspect the shop was there before that. The hardware store had been there for more than sixty years. A 27-year-old jewelry repair shop went too, along with the organic food shop.
