Cody's Bookstore, once a beacon of independence and culture, now lies abandoned, a grim reminder of our society's failure to support local businesses. Its glass façade, littered with black posters, screams neglect and apathy. How can we stand by while independent voices are silenced? This is not just about a store; it’s about the erosion of community spirit and the unchecked rise of corporate greed. We’ve allowed the heart of our culture to decay, and it’s infuriating to watch. If we don’t act now, we risk losing every last independent entity that makes our society vibrant. Wake up, people! Support your local businesses before it’s too late! #SupportLocal #CodyBookstore #Independents
