Classic answer of a mattress store. We have a very busy interesting in town, and they are on all 4 corners. Prime real estate, never a car in the lot.
There's an Indian restaurant near me that has been there for years. I've never once seen more than 2 people in there and rarely any ubereats. I once went in to buy samosas and they seemed surprised. It's not a cheap neighborhood so I'm certain the place is a front more than anything.
Absolutely - our local smoke shop in my towns plaza.
For anyone familiar with the south hills of PGH: the Baltimore House
I was gonna reply with the fake Burger King in SouthSide
, but at least this place is still in operation.
When I lived in Burlington Vermont, the owner of the skate shop "ridin' high" got in trouble because he was selling drugs out of the skate shop.
Classic.
There's a store in my little town that sells gift bags, ballons and teddy bears. Never seen anybody in there, never seen the window display change. Keep in mind this isn't a party store. They only seem to sell those three things. Lord knows what they REALLY sell. Maybe "teddy bears" is slang for some new drug I don't know about.
Growing up, I would drive by a restaurant that was called the good view restaurant, it had a single small rectangular window at ceiling height on one side only and maybe three parking spaces that were always empty.
There was a chicken restaurant that had a hand painted sign which was poorly done. There were bars on the windows and the windows had ads for cigarettes and prepaid cellphones. It eventually got shut down due to distributing drug paraphernalia.
Several. But everyone knows they're most likely being used for money laundering. There's no way those strip clubs are profitable on their own.
Di solito viaggio in Polesine, dove vivono i miei parenti. Ma grazie per l'avvertimento.
There's a furniture store that is never open that I go by a lot which I find odd, but I don't know if it's shady. We literally do have Mafia in my city though.
You just reminded me of one store near my workplace, it sells tableware and rather pretty so I asked them what's their schedule and they just said that they don't know ¯_(ツ)_/¯ how are you even a business if you don't know when do you start and finish your work
That's really strange. Like why have a store? This place is office furniture so maybe it's just occasionally used as a showroom but I go by several times a week and have never seen it open.
