It may have some sort of bad juju or feng shui. There is a corner near my ancestral home that had at least 25 businesses in the same number of years. On the opposite corner another business, a deli, lasted over 40 years and made the owners quite wealthy. It was as though the other corner was cursed.

Where I am now there is a building that has had about 6 different businesses in it in the past 15 years that have all failed miserably, and long periods of vacancy. Popular opinion is that it is cursed. (unrelated to popular opinion, but by curious coincidence, the building is about 1/10 of a mile from a, recently discovered while excavating, native American site. The excavation had to be stopped while the area was mined for artifacts and so on.)

I think looking for explanations is pointless, shit happens that makes no sense but our brains want to create order and explanations. Got religion?
