When a number of small businesses are gathered in a town square, or even local strip mall, the driving distance is still the same to visit different ones for different items. When such a shopping area is local, driving isn’t always even necessary when there are sidewalks and bike paths.

I’ll say it again… it’s a big wide wonderful world we live in… there are towns on the plains of Colorado that have always had to drive 50 miles to get most of what they want… now they drive 50 miles and get it all in one place… can’t beat that.

You’ve been looking at too many Rockwell paintings… everything is not Bedford Falls.
