There's a store in my little town that sells gift bags, ballons and teddy bears. Never seen anybody in there, never seen the window display change. Keep in mind this isn't a party store. They only seem to sell those three things. Lord knows what they REALLY sell. Maybe "teddy bears" is slang for some new drug I don't know about.

For anyone familiar with the south hills of PGH: the Baltimore House

There are a couple of popular restaurants that are cash only. They even have an ATM inside if you forget

Absolutely - our local smoke shop in my towns plaza.

There used to be one I just couldn't understand. It was one of those stores you commonly see on the road side with many products related to our local culture. They could theoretically make a ton of money selling that stuff to tourists if the store was next to a gas station or something, but it was deep inside the town in a very low traffic street, with no advertisement. Non-tourists would have a need for their products once every few years at most and it could be found on regular stores as well. There was just no way that store could be profitable.

But then they started selling rotisserie chicken and I became their regular. A couple years later they shut down.

Where I am in AUS, it seems to be crane rental. I guess pretty easy just to invoice out a days rental and sit around doing nothing.

Di solito viaggio in Polesine, dove vivono i miei parenti. Ma grazie per l'avvertimento.

Several. But everyone knows they're most likely being used for money laundering. There's no way those strip clubs are profitable on their own.

There's a furniture store that is never open that I go by a lot which I find odd, but I don't know if it's shady. We literally do have Mafia in my city though.
