I'm sure that YOU do need a peace-sign pendant with a built-in roach clip and a poster of Bob Marley. There are TONS of local merchants residents can patronize without having their olfactory senses assaulted by the smell of stale wino urine. Mayfaire....Landfall Center....Independence Mall....the Oleander and College Road corridors.... Exactly WHAT can you ONLY find downtown? Why would anyone ever want to go downtown to shop? Is filth a bonus? Thanks for playing, and proving once again that when ol' Common speaks the plain, honest truth, the only course of action you can fall back on is to attack the messenger without refuting anything posted. Good luck with that rolling thing....
