How poverty appeared on stage

First signs of poverty appeared in Münster about two years ago.

One of these so-called quality shops in the main pedestrian shopping street closed and no equal quality shop moved in.

Instead one of those 1,00 EUR shops (where all articles just cost 1,00 EUR) appeared on stage. Actually, it was said to just fill in the space until the next quality shop would follow. But no other quality shop turned up as months passed by.

Another shop closed, I think it was a clothes shop, and a discount bakery opened up.

Today, there are numerous discount bakeries spread all over town.
