    I like to take virtual tours of dead/dying towns via Street View. The one constant is that the one main Street has one Dollar General with cars in the parking lot, on the outskirts of town. The proper grocery/general stores are all dilapidated husks ‘down town’.

      This is the only positive thing I can say about dollar general. I’ve lived in some brutal food deserts and really small towns but God dammit there will always be a dollar general somewhere nearby.

      It’s not great, or cheap. But man is it ever available.
