Then I want to see something that has persevered against the odds-- TV repair, shoe repair, a standalone place that sells something like lawnmowers. Next town over we have an honest to goodness cobbler-- in a building less than 6 feet wide.

Survivor:

Sewing machines and vacuum cleaners. Think they still do some repair.

Extinct:

Sears Auto Center.

Do I win?
