In a world that had become a salvage operation, the general supply evolved into Union Grove's leading industry. When every... useful thing in town had been stripped from the Kmart and the United Auto, the CVS drugstore, and other trading establishments of the bygone national chain-store economy, daily life became a perpetual flea market centered on the old town dump.
