THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Dick Sexton is retiring after 30 years as a successful used-car dealer on Parsons Avenue. Only
one minivan and car remain on his lot.

"I'm cleaning things out, got a couple of cars I'm wholesaling," Sexton said last week. "It's
been a great run."

His company gave him the means to raise three daughters and put them through college. He lived
in Bexley for more than 20 years.

Parsons Avenue, despite what many think, can be a good place to do business, he said. "There
have been people making a lot of money down here."

But now, there might be another hole in the avenue's fabric. Not only is Sexton closing up shop,
but so is R&P Printing, a Parsons Avenue fixture for 20 years.

To Sexton's north, Bobb Chevrolet closed its new-car dealership at Parsons and Livingston
avenues almost a year ago.
