The things we sell, these ‘affordable extravagances,’ people will still have their occasional five-dollar ice cream cone or eight-dollar cigar.†But he also acknowledged that his store increasingly depends on the University for customers, and that increased economic stress and rising unemployment could deter some customers who live farther away from the Square.“In the old days, people would come into...
