It always seemed like an area where retail was unstable for some reason. Lots of stuff opening and closing all the time. Vacant storefronts, occupied for a while. Then vacant again.
New retail builds. Vacant for a while. Then occupied. Then vacant again.
Major national chains like Pizza Hut, Wendy's, gas stations open, and then close soon thereafter.
You don't see this in Orleans for example. Or at least not nearly so much.

When I was a kid (late 1990s and early 2000s), growing up in Embrun, the Blair area was where we drove to for most of our shopping. That, and the Innes/417 area. As I got older though we started going to the Innes/Tenth Line area instead.
