Dumpy Strip Malls

A blog of note to anyone who follows grass roots retail -- you have to check out Twin Cities, Minnesota-based Dumpy Strip Malls.

How quickly, this reminds us, fortunes change. (Though it doesn't take long to see why many of these spots are dead or dying.)

I especially love Dumpy Strip Malls' pithy comments on these dated retail outposts.
