I don't drive downtown very often because I live relatively close; when I have driven, I don't pay for parking. I guess I don't go during weekdays very often.
It's sad for me to read that message from KW Bookstore because I patron that store semi-regularly. I've even had them order in material for me before. I feel pretty confident in saying I spend more on books (and especially used ones) than the average person out there. And, when I go to browse there or at other book stores downtown, it's often when I'm on my way home from a Saturday morning going to the market, or when I've met someone downtown for lunch. I'm on foot on those occasions.
You'd think a bookstore downtown would be supportive of new development, and new types of people coming to live downtown. I guess they think, with abundant parking, suburbanites are going to drive down to them instead of Chapters or Amazon.
Anyway, great news if there's movement on the sale of that lot. It would be great to see that redeveloped.
