Around 1:15 this afternoon three men robbed the Medicine Shoppe on the corner of Mahoning and Hazelwood. At least one of them had a gun. Money and drugs were taken.
:'( What a shame. I saw a unit parked there and wasn't sure why. It sure seems like there has been a lot more in that area lately.

It's hard enough for the small businesses to make a go of it lately.
It's so sad that this happened.
How long can these businesses remain open for fear of being robbed or worse? I wonder how much higher their insurance premiums increase because of crime?
