Ali Abu Hantash, owner of Hinkley Market & Gas, gazes off into the distance as he stands in front of his empty general store in Hinkley on Thursday, March 7, 2013. Hantash is struggling to keep Hinkley's only retail business open, and said he sees no hope in his future nor his ability to save his store due Hinkley's dwindling population.
