The state of the economy at the street level

[farmerge]

i believe it is about ( retail ) stock clearance to prepare for the stock that you bring in December/New Year ( at least in Australia )

Rol up, roll up, the sale of this week is happening. and if you miss this then next week there will another etc etc.
Brings to mind a particular furniture retailer who seems like a sale every month, which has to be b/s because when is a sale not a sale?
When does he have prices that are not sale prices?

The past 20 years have seen a proliferation of cafes around Australia. When I moved to the Melbourne suburb of Ashburton in 2006, there were only a few cafes on the High Street shopping strip. In the years leading up to the pandemic, the number of cafes on or near the High Street strip increased
