A lot of houses, villas and bungalows are being sold "down south", but not enough people are moving in and staying all summer. It's a tough proposition for a merchant when his business and cash flow dwindles to next to nothing during half the year. When enough people begin staying year round, the storefronts will fill up, even the big box locations on the periphery of Brownwood.
