There may be other issues involved in this closing such as a liability.

I agree with you, NoMoSno. Of course people will still have access to grocery stores and hardware stores, but not the ones they have been used to getting to more easily and faster for the last 20 years--their favorite, affordable places to shop. Not to mention those who must get to work or to their doctor on a cart, and now cannot. So I think johnboy's post is an oversimplification. I feel for these people and do not think they are over reacting.
