1. Robert Gibbs uses a variety of criteria to evaluate a store including stores on the right when commuting to having breakfast type places and those on the right when returning having retail and grocery stores. There should be adequate lighting. However there should be minimal sidewalk distractions such as trees that hide store fronts.
2.I don't think Main Street should resemble a mall. I see it as place for community to gather. It provides an opportunity for those in the community to interact in a small, casual daily venue. I like the small local one of kind stores downtown have to offer. I would hate to see Main Street cluttered with a wide array of national chains and expansive parking lots. If someone wants a mall experience they will go to the mall. It is clear by the declining mall attendance; many people do not want a mall experience. It doesn’t make sense to transfer Main Street into something mall-like.
