Not sure what it signifies, but I counted 14 locations on Greenwood, between Bond on the West and Pilot Butte on the East, that were available. About 2 of them were strictly "For Sale", about 4 of them strictly "For Lease", and about 8 of them were "For Sale or Lease."

About 8 of them would actually be adequate for my needs. They are what I would term 'light industrial' spaces, that is, too big for your average boutique, too small for your average 'big' store. These places are often used for spas, or furniture, or used bookstores.

I would need one of these places to be at least 2000 sq. ft. and no more than a 1.25, including triple net. I haven't checked, but I suspect most of them are closer to the 1.50 to 1.75 range, and maybe even 2.00 range including triple net. Too much.

I like Greenwood. It gets good traffic.

But I like downtown even more. It gets good foot traffic, which is to die for. I've wished for it for many years, and now that I've got it, I don't want to give it up. That, plus being in the same location for 25 years (we spent 3 years on Greenwood) isn't something I can relinquish easily.

I think 14 locations, plus three or four more east of Pilot Butte is the most I've ever seen-- maybe 2 to 3 times the normal numbers.

I haven't checked Century Drive, lately, so I wonder if the same thing is happening there. In fact, Linda and I are going for a drive, so I'll be back....
