Response
to economic growth editorial
9-5-01
To
the editor:
I
read your commentary ["Economic
pie," by Mike Fak] with interest today. I have to say, it
made sense.
My
husband and I moved to Lincoln in March, and in driving around to
see what spaces are available, we were heartbroken to see a
building complex like the Stage-Staples building sitting empty.
When we asked why those businesses couldn't make it in Lincoln, we
were told it was a corporate decision and not because of lack of
local support.
So,
in brainstorming, we thought, "Wouldn't it be nice to turn
that area into a beautiful little mini-mall with various
shops?" It would be economically wonderful to get big
manufacturing plants into Lincoln, but the average Joe can’t do
that. We can, however, start up a variety of small business (shoe
store, pretzel place, jewelry store, big-tall man’s
shop, candle place, nail salon, fresh meat store, dog
bakery, pet photo shop, just to name a few).
Tom
and I came from Racine, Wis., which started just such a place
downtown. It had a showroom for antique cars, a wonderful ice
cream shop, a nail salon, a craft store, a hot dog shop, etc. It
was growing when we left, so we have to think it will continue to
be successful.
I
don't know what the first step would be to getting something like
this for our town, but I would be willing to be part of any
discussions. Love to hear what you and others might think.
