The rent specter is definitely in play, though: boutiques come and go, but that large store at Va-Hi (between Fontaine's and Everybody's) is closing down (on the backend of a building sale, I believe), and the old bookstore has moved, with its house now occupied by a new boutique of some form.

Overexpansion by Starbucks may also be part of it - how many can one community really support?
