You know, JT, I was joking when I made that post, but now as I think about it, there was a lot in that neighborhood that Decatur now desires. I could walk to Aileo’s, the corner green grocer. Next to that was the butcher, Mr. Burgher. Then Mrs Pinkowitz, she sold ladies’ underthings and handkerchiefs. Next to that was the best of all, Eddie Cox’s, he had penny candy and a soda fountain. That was as far as I was allowed to walk without an older sibling or neighbor. Plus school, my kindergarten!
Also, a short walk for the grownups to the tube station which would whisk you into NYC in a few minutes. It seems hard to believe today.

I wish they would do that in Decatur too. I would definitely be escaping the family to catch up on work if DG were open until 9 PM, even better 10 PM. Blue Elephant next door is open until 9 PM so I can see synergy going on there.

This would seem to be a good sign for the direction the development might take, i.e. not a bunch of national mass-market retailers.

I wonder if they will have longer hours at this location? Closing at 7 in that area will not be good for business

Not until we get a hot dog guy on the square selling real Sabretts. Sauerkraut and mustard please!
