Three new businesses, then nothing: South Deering's May dataset

South Deering picked up three new businesses in May — Happy Nails, Brows & Eyelashes Bar, a Little Caesars, and Nolo's Cigars — but everything else came back zero. No building permits were issued, down from three in April that totaled $205k. Service requests, crimes, and food inspection failures all logged zero, a sharp drop from April's modest counts. The dataset doesn't say why.
