Downtown Openings and Closings.

Showcase Hats is gone -- seemingly overnight.

The Closings are closing the gap with the Openings. Since it's the first of the month, I probably should take a look around to see if there are any other changes...

My count: Openings, 52. Closings, 50.

Dunc, I'm curious to know what you think of the latest downtown parking plan (Bulletin story Sunday).

Duncan McGeary said...

It actually looked sensible to me. I'll probably just keep buying the in the garage tag, but I'm glad their are options for everyone.

Actually, I don't understand the 500 ft. , 750 ft. or 1000 ft. option. Why let them play parking tag at all?

Letting them park on top of the garage for little was my original suggestion, by golly.

Don't you mean 6/1 and not 1/6.

Duncan McGeary said...

Thanks,

corrected.

Hey Duncan,

Thanks for the feedback on the parking plan. We've worked very hard and I think we're in a better position than we've been in a long time. More info here on our website:
