Garfield Ridge adds five businesses, everything else flatlines

Garfield Ridge logged five new businesses in May—Obbies Pizza, Villa Rosa On Archer, Old Fashioned Meat Company / El Superior Mexican Foods, MD Tax Pro, and Midway Speedpark North (the last appearing twice in city records, likely one garage with duplicate licenses). Building permits dropped to zero from eight the prior month, which had carried $58,259 in declared work. Service requests and reported crime also zeroed out, a sharp break from April's 553 requests and 15 incidents. The simultaneous flatline across multiple datasets suggests incomplete reporting rather than a fully quiet month, but the city hasn't flagged May data as provisional.
