as someone who moved here recently, it has been my pleasure to proudly show this community to my visiting friends and real estate colleagues especially as the vibrancy of downtown encourages others like myself to consider buying homes.
as a a former main street coordinator, I realize the challenges our borough faces when trying to get good retailers here. let's look at this as an opportunity to complement the needs of future retirees like me to have all our needs met within walking distance. we become a true transit village and reinforce the kind of wonderful interaction with others that doesn't happen in a mall parking lot.
i hope we can put on our creative hats and come up with something that we don't have now. this is a community of people with forward-thinking ideas. it could be fun to have a forum on what should happen there. with all the other wonderful things we're doing (bikeshare, zipcar, farmer's market), let's see what we can do.
