copying 'Boss Town' (C my abpve)/ Our nation is like that.
We had urban renewal @ the 'food hub'. It was the ol european style. Buyers for the chains came in, saw the wears displayed, said I'll take xx tons. Off it went to Krogers for a state-wide regon. A lanner came in and turned it into Fanuel Hall region. Then they hired him out & he did Baltimore, hired to St Lou, etc.
May be in the same process w/this. Read my link so as to stop it if possible.
