]]>“The independent coffee shops, the small bookstores, cozy restaurants, dirty corner bars” will survive if they are good as everyone claims they are. If not, good riddance to bad rubbish. Geez, nobody eats bad food because of advertising and Panera Bread’s success is due to in part providing quality food at the price they charge. It is also in part due to their realization that they couldn’t compete with McDonald’s in terms of quality or price so they marketed to yuppies.

I think areas like Harbor East could use some boutique shops and higher end furniture stores, and the area by Merritt could benefit from the proposed Harris Teeter and Target type stores.
