Myron thinks its good business to put in like businesses in close proximity to each other. We need a Starbucks next to a Caribou, a Wal Mart next to Target and Cub, another frozen yogurt place. Next we need a CVS across the street from Walgreens. Makes perfect sense to me. Maybe we should have two city councils and two Mayors to see which survive. How about unique, complimentary businesses that make sense and enhance the community!
