Downtown is a bust? Is your degree in economic development and business? You probably haven’t been downtown for a long time. We went to see the band last Wednesday night and there were 200 people there. The tinsel town building had several pi going in and out. So what do you base that statement on?
I invest in many businesses outside the city with some pretty good companies. Do you have any idea what the first thing we look at before building a shopping area or restaurant/bar is?
It’s easy to sit on the net and make statements like yours. I get the frustration. You want to eat at Texas Roadhouse and shop at Target and then get a $10 cup of coffee at Starbucks. Well you’ll just have to make good on your statement about leaving then. If your household income isn’t at least $65,000, you’re part of the economic problem this city has.
Glad to see this mayor is working on the infrastructure and Nameoki Road. If he gets anything done there, route 3 will be close behind.
