ReplyDeleteWhat merchants? There's nobody downtown.
Watermelon Rind, Burning Bridge, just to name a couple. This is a great idea that needs community support.

ReplyDeletepeople give it up! face it. yes the Boro is improving. there are more shops. more out of towners visiting. take pride in our beautiful little town. get involved. attend mtgs of council...insist to council (YES the taxpaying homeowners ARE the real mgmt here!) that the time IS here to do something about the exorbitant number of rental properties that keeps growing and growing. you should have done something years to STOP this madness. enact an ordinance. and while your at it Boro YOU step up. Do something right for a change! Work with the businesses intown that ARE trying to make a go of it, who are pouring their heart and soul into this town. at the VERY least come up with some pro's for the business owners. such as: make meter bags for every downtown business to use EVERY Friday and EVERY Saturday ALL DAY like 1 or 2 bags per business to at LEAST help promote!!!!! Counci lpeople you need to get your head out of the sand NOW. this SHOULD have been done years ago. IF you didn't blatantly spend spend spend on unnecessary bs we'd be much richer.
