But its niche is disappearing, so it either finds a new niche, or it goes out of business. Its niche was always “middle-aged people’s childhood memories,” but how many of today’s middle-aged people grew up listening to radio shows and watching old men sitting around cracker barrels?
Hell, I AM middle-aged, and one of my grandfathers was a sharecropper who eventually started his own corner store, so I SHOULD be exactly their demographic… but my childhood memories are of Charlie’s Angels, Radio Shack computers and Run DMC. Their niche is almost nonexistent now.
That’s a weird way of saying your grandpa never took you to Cracker Barrel.

Am middle aged too, grew up on nerdy old shit. Don't forget to stock up on Blue Anthracite coal and Chesterfields!
Radium water or nothing! They'll take it away over my dead body!!
