I appreciate your commitment to focusing on the crippling effect of the closure of CVS stores, including @pennbranchdc. Unfortunately, these lease agreements completely block competing stores or anything similar. You should also talk to the landowners, like Burka Brothers.

Robert Carter is a phenomenal, self-made man with a hell of a human story.
