There used to be a lot of used furniture/antique type stores here too,
but not anymore. I supposed I could find one legitimate antique store
if I looked hard enough, but they aren't in the numbers they used to
be. Used furniture, kitchen odds & ends etc are in charity shops and
the quality is "pure junk" that won't sell on Craig's list (even the
free part) or EBay.

The population of my City and I will suppose Julie's too, is made up
of young people in the tech industry. Old is not their thing and
if/when they want old (more like used, not real antiques), they turn
to Craig's list and go pick it up. My son got a really nice wooden
play structure recently that probably cost $800-1000 brand new (off
Craig's List), just for taking it apart and hauling it away... but he
doesn't live in the city anymore.
