This trend can be checked if the local authorities have the balls to engage in serious town planning. Cheers, Nathan Well, it all depends on what you call serious; they decided to prohibit such stores in the town centers here some years ago - the result of which is that people take they cars to get out of town and go shopping. Of course, small shops still suffer badly. I see only one possibility to reverse the trend now, here at least: increasing the price of gas a couple of times. It will be good for the planet, and excellent for people's health due to renewing with daily basic exercise. Not to speak about the elderly who will find a sense of the community again when they queue for bread in their berets and checkered slippers. Of course, YMMV ;-) Philippe, after a day's frantically hopping from mall to mall to get what was needed for a long weekend, exhausting and so insane of us all. >> On Oct 29, 2011, at 10:07 AM, Chris Crawford wrote: >> >>> http://chriscrawfordphoto.com/chris-details.php?prodId=765&category=32 NO ARCHIVE
