[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 243617, member: 324"] Amazon is hurting every brick and mortar business. Whether in a small town like Minot, or a major metro like Chicago or NYC. I get it - it's really hard to beat. My family-run company has been in Bismarck for 30 years. With Amazon, whatever you buy, for the most part, is a couple days away. We had to buy another shipping point in CT, just to be close to the huge NE population. Fortunately, it has worked out well for us. But, time and time again, I spend time on the phone helping someone figure something out, and then they buy on the internet. When they spend $2K on a pump, and it flames out, who do they call? Anyhow, I'm from Minot, and it will always have a slight draw for me. But it seems that the population just isn't there, to support the infrastructure that has sprung up in the past 10 years.
