economy crash: what places saw a massive downfall (or worse, elimination) in business and profit? Family-owned small businesses, sit-down restaurants, boutiques, hobby shops, etc. Places that one didn’t need to go when short on money. In case it isn’t obvious, Minneapolis and Saint Paul are both avid hotspots for small businesses, eclecticism, diversity, and culture of all types under the rainbow. Readers may ask what point is being made here. It’s that when people were short on money, they cut out the places they wanted to go, places that sounded intriguing, places that they desired to try, and so on, in lieu of the places they needed to go, in order to support themselves and their families. Theoretically, in having reduced transportation prices, people will have extra money, money they didn’t have before. In all, on top of people being able to now support themselves and have leftover cash to spend, people can explore their hobbies and passions, all while supporting our local businesses, and therefore, will end up stimulating the entire local economy.
