[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just walking up there today and looking at all the weeds in the flower boxes - shame on those businesses! Why can't it look like Oakland with bright stores and flower boxes - there's a middle ground between independent crappy and chains. Further, these are independents and chains both who aren't pulling weeds and picking up trash. We do use it for convenience, but rarely eat there. It would look a lot more inviting to have people sitting outside eating and shopping, but it's pretty depressing. I had to laugh at the person on page 1 who said that these businesses support local schools. I ran our elementary school auction many years ago and we were begging these independents to give something. A couple of the bigger outfits were great, but the majority - not. If they were hurting, it seems smart to give a measly $25 to get someone in your store who will likely spend more.[/quote] That may be, but many of these schools DO support Lafayette. [/quote]
