Is it just me or are there really a lot of second-hand, resale shops popping up all over town? It seems that no matter what street I’m on, I notice at least a new shop or two dealing in used wares.

Just in my own Parma hood, a used jewelry shop opened up in a massive space that used to house a video rental store. (Talk about a failing business model; video rental stores will probably be the public pay phones of the 2010s.) And just a few blocks away is a new computer second-hand store, buying and selling all manner of used computer equipment, games, and software.

What’s happening in your neck of the woods?
