FISHERMEN/A Christmas Wish......

Both of the above comments are absolutely correct. A big part of the lack of business traffic in these local stores is the convenience of internet ordering. As an example my daughter-in-law just received furniture that she ordered on line. Never saw it except in an on line catalog. I can't imagine my wife doing something like that when we were first married.
Cancun Pete is a nice guy who always is available with good advice and I'm sure the other proprietors are also nice guys. That being said it is not a great stretch to say that all the stores on Rte 36 and elsewhere cannot continue without traffic. There will be a shakeout and the result will be that we anglers will lose an extremely valuable resource. The retailers that survive will be the ones that own the building that they are in.
I hope I am proven wrong.
