Do you ever visit a new city... or new part of your own town and realise ... "there's nothing unique here, I could really be anywhere in the world"?
The same chain stores are selling the same clothing everywhere. The same two grocery chains are ubiquitous in every suburb. It's just ... bland.
The little fruit shop or family butcher ... gone. Co-opted by huge shopping centers, chain stores, even the same restaurants and coffee chains in every neighbourhood.
So, what's be behind this gradual creep? And when did you start to notice it?
