'Remedy'

I've had a long-standing question about certain hubs of commerce: How do places such as toy stores or pet stores survive?

Furthermore, how do they find that they can have so many locations, often so close together?

Are you telling me that on any given day folks are needing to buy toys? Or people are waking up and on their to-do list is picking up a pet parakeet or lizard food?

Not that pet and toy stores probably don't serve a purpose. But do they need to be open seven days a week for 18 hours at a time? Probably not.

Thus, I bring you to electronic/house music. Do millions of people buy this and listen to it or use it all the time? Is this needed? Seems like we could do with less of it.
