Heard she did retire, whatever that means. They were there so long after many years at other better places it must have been a stark reality check when the flow of clients dried up at that place. Maybe they couldn't make the rent? Knew some who knew her or worked with her. That whole Inland Empire set up of various cities has been serving those in need for damn near forever. Truckers, traveling sales, etc. everybody has their niche. Upland had more that it's share, but Elite was one of a kind.
