How many businesses can you name that are thriving downtown? This can be anything, from a lawyer's office to a restaurant. Use your toes to count if necessary.

Pillbox Tales suggests: "Use your toes to count if necessary. "

Mr/Ms. Tales:

And if you'd use your feet to come down and find out for yourself, you'd know that downtown is better off now than anytime in the last 20 years. Contribute and quit being such an asshole.

My advice to you is free,
Smootz

i'd be willing to bet that the parking people are the most thriving. very little overhead and HIGH demand(?) for product (or is it a service, whatever). they seem to out last all other biz. in downtown.

Oops. I knew I'd miss something.

So there's also Metro Pulse and AC Entertainment. And another lawyer somewhere in the Arnstein Building. And htere's that architect or design firm or whatever it is right by the front door of the Arnstein. And a couple of places next to Harold's which do design things I think.

How do you define "thriving"? Is thriving another way to say "successful"? I don't have access to their books so I don't really know if any businesses are thriving or sucessful.

Or are you just asking people to name businesses that are downtown?
