   This morning I notice another Urgent Care in a nearby shopping plaza.   
      
   Living in the  northeast, I never saw an ER not in a hospital.  Seems   
   popular here, especially with new housing popping up.  One just opened   
   about 10 miles in the other direction.  In the past 6 years, hundreds of   
   new houses went up in that area.
