purpleinopp. That sounds like Greensboro a few years ago. Closed. And we have an assortment of 100+ year old store buildings. But lately there has been an resurgence of activity. Someone has bought the old hotel and is turning it into offices and shops. The old Opera house has been restored. Maybe we will have operas! We have fish farms, but no factories. The old stores are again filled with activities--an antiques store is new. The others are mostly resale shops. And people come from the other towns around to look for bargains. There is a neat restaurant: The Pie Lab where business people meet for lunch.
The old towns can become new again. And on a gardening note, some one has planted beds of daylilies all along main street. It worth a walk downtown just to see what's blooming!
