One shoe repair shop opens in otherwise empty May

E&R Shoe Repair & Alterations picked up a limited business license in Bridgeport this month. That's it. The data shows zero building permits after April's five totaling $414k, zero service requests after 442, zero crimes after 19. Either May was the quietest month in city history or something's broken in the reporting pipeline.
