What is on every corner in the city you live in?

Maybe not literally every corner but wherever you go, there it is. The type of business or organization that takes up tons of pages in your town's phone book.

In my home town:
– a Mormon church

In my current city:
– one of those crisis pregnancy centers that advertises free pregnancy testing & then counsels people out of having an abortion (seriously dozens of these)
– a 7-11 or a Circle K convenience store but NOT a gas station

Also there are tons and tons of antique stores, or other boutiques that get all their inventory from estate sales.

Something about wig stores always makes me think 'drug front' because they are always so run down and narrow – the light in there crystallizes and time freezes – drug front
