I feel better about my state's Dept of Natural Resources for this.

Make them beg for the political discourse: start learning to play bagpipes.

Ever been in a bookstore with nothing but kids' books (and I mean children, not young adults) and regency romances?  Among those chambers of Hell that have been outsourced into the mortal plane.

We need 24-hour bookstores. 

Back in the Eighties/early Nineties, we had Odyssey Records on Las Vegas Boulevard, which was open 24/7. I lived nearby, and when I found myself unable to sleep at 3 AM, I'd get dressed and go shopping. Even at that time in the morning, there would be about a dozen people shopping.

 

The owner finally took an offer by Wherehouse, with the condition that he ran it. They pushed him out a few years later, and it became corporatized. The store closed after Wherehouse's bankruptcy/absorption into FYE Music.

 

And I still miss shopping there.
