So,in my area where I live the big thing is all our little yoohoo towns have decided to have these things called Town Centers. Now I'll be the first to say that I love the idea of having a Town Center because it gives you a bit of a night life where there wasnt squat before.They bring in tons of cool bars and restaraunts that you wouldnt ever have if not for these things...and where we live a lot of the cities are really basically glorified suburbs,and if not for these things,there wouldnt be a ton to do.That is if they are done right.
About 3 or four cities had decided to do Town Centers when the municipality that I live in decided to jump on the bandwagon....I was all excited,because I figured...hell I wont have to drive but 5 minutes to actually be able to do something!! Sigh...so unfortunately,my city has decided to put their Town Center behind a Target.
Thats not the only problem with this thing.The good Town Centers in the area are like being in an actual downtown.With nice towering condos and hotels surrounding the restaurants and bars.Well because they put our Town Center behind a Target on some wasteland that nobody else wanted...they have a glorified strip mall. I'm not lying...the pic above isnt the exact Town Center pic,but its basically identical to it. Its ridiculous.
The other places you can say to the lil lady..."hey why dont we go to so and so Town Center and hang for a bit" and you could spend a few hours there.At this f*#ker you go over two speed bumps and your done with it....
Its awful....
So a note to any municipality officials who are thinking of jumping into the Town Center craze...please remember that a Moes,and two crap stores,and two haircut places and a 7/11 do not make a Town Center...might as well be living in Mayberry....
