MAKING A CASE FOR MAIN STREET USA

MAKING A CASE FOR MAIN STREET USA

Ask yourself, which do you or your friends prefer?

To spend all your time behind the steering wheel?
Or spending quality time with your family?

Drive-through food in a plastic container?
Or a home cooked meal at a Main Street diner?

Your tax dollars spent on costly roads to get to schools?
Or invested in walkable schools nestled into your safe urban village?

Paying to join a health club you can only get to by fighting traffic?
Or getting fit for free while walking, browsing and socializing on Main Street?

Your food, drink and newspaper from vending machines?
Or from an eclectic sidewalk café?

To shop in a big box strip center programmed by a marketing firm?
Or on Main Street where the shopkeepers are your neighbors and the dollars you spend stay local.

Hopefully, you answered the second option each time. If so, you are ready to fall in love again with Main Street USA.

Now let's all work to rebuild it.
