Besides, once they see the famous Flower Clock and Stinky Pier/Bay, what else is there for them to see? I just want to shop in my hometown like I used to. Don't like Wally world but the local shops are too $$$$$ for me. Used to could do all my shopping needs local, but not anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-47457609425294848832016-04-11T10:57:36.486-05:002016-04-11T10:57:36.486-05:00Why are only downtown merchants on this committee....Why are only downtown merchants on this committee.

Also give away feathers in every restaurant so customer can barf out the meal and walk a half block and eat again.

Like any busy city, sometimes you just have to be patient and it may take a trip around the block. Although close, this is not Mayberry or Camolot so some inconvenience can be expected. Sometimes it seem we trip over ourselves to correct a problem that dose not exist.

However there are many many downfalls to the current parking design.. Bancroft is the poorest of designs! Behind Greers by Faulkner.. If you drive down in a larger vehicle you must cross the center line to avoid hitting the rear end of long wheel based cars or trucks that are parked. It's that way in most parts of downtown. It's so frustrating!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-34309747788804627672016-04-07T13:08:24.882-05:002016-04-07T13:08:24.882-05:00Too much of the premium spots in the deck are rese...Too much of the premium spots in the deck are reserved for hotel guests.Eating 'round the Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17748704463689040562noreply@blogger.com
