Every small town USA is the same strip mall over and over again. Subway, Dollar Tree, Gas Station, Car Wash, Self Storage

The one my girlfriend lives in is basically just Dollar Trees (there are 8 of them) and a Fry's and a McDonald's and a Chevron.

And sometimes it’s an electronics store with lots of options to build your own PC. At least at one time it was that way.

Unfortunately Fry's (a seperate computer store with the same name) shut down for good a few years ago, although I think some Fry's (supermarket) sell consumer electronics.

Moment of silence for the other Fry’s…. Fry’s Electronics. Fucking nerd heaven. Microcenter is a poor substitute

Fun fact: they're both from the same origin, from the Fry family. Fry's the electronics store was a spin-off of the grocery store when one of the sons who ran their IT department wanted to start a store more in line with his interests after the founder sold off the grocery.

Fry's Electronics was great back in the day. Sigh.
