A mini-Apple store! Much as I hate to see W&F leave, it's good that West Midtown is gaining traction. That is a neighborhood with a ton of potential, and lower prices. I don't think we can support another bicycle shop- there is one less than a mile away, both west and south. Otherwise, InTown Chicklet's suggestions sound good to me.   more ›

like the idea of an upscale lounge. a small concert venue/theater would also be awesome, though i'm sure that's impossible. something needs to go there. too many vacancies   more ›
