There's nothing "savvy" about you. Do you have any concept of franchising? Who do you think owns stores such as Hallmark, Great American Cookie, GNC...and most of the restaurants? How about the family owned businesses, such as Reed's Jewlers and Cape Fear Formal? Now how about YOU answering a question, the one I asked earlier? Exactly what can you get downtown and nowhere else? Why would anyone go downtown? Cheap prices? Ha! Is there some fascination with shopping in an area that, like a Transylvania cemetary, you had BETTER be out before sundown? Dying to read your answer...
