The best part is this is everywhere in America. There's no regional specificity to it. I know that the 904 area code is northeast Florida, but that's the only clue.

Every inch of this country is filled with Burgerpunk aesthetics and little strip malls full of seedy small businesses designed to suck money out of suburbanites. And since we're a normal country we don't even put sidewalks to get to the seedy businesses since we let the lot owner decide to do that. Where I live the owner of the lot will sometimes put a curb between their stupid collection of businesses and the one right next door, so you can't even drive from one to the other. And it's always a horrifying combination of things. I love putting the Chili's right next to an emergency room where people are dying. I love having fake quack doctors prescribing sugar water next door to Payless Shoes. This sign says there's a daycare right next to a tattoo parlor and a gun store. Cool.

Coast to coast blanket of putrid sleazy little small business tyrants and that's by design commercial-district
