With the entrance of the "big box" retailer years ago alot of the downtown business went the way of the world. People like convenience. I wish you could see more of this "good use of space" in other towns across the country. <br /><br />If its a building code issue, then the appropriate cities and towns need only to make a small change to their codes to allow it. I am handicapped and in a wheelchair and know alot of these spaces would be unavailable to me, but I do find it a shame that they go to waste year after year, not to mention the "Live after 5" aspect they bring back to many of our historical downtown areas.<br /><br />Michael<br />MississippiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
