I remember we had a Christmas store in SS on the square. When they closed some people blamed the high rent. Really ??? Obviously we didn't need a year round Christmas store.
The restaurants that have closed were the ones that got really bad reviews. 12 of us had a girl's night out and ate at Luiginos. 6 sent their meals back. They were awful. Service was also awful. Most of our meals came mixed up. Only 2 out of the 12 said they liked their meal. One got pizza and the other had a salad.
Note to businesses: Make sure you have a good plan when you open up a business, but also make sure you follow through with that plan.

Don't let HER blond hair fool ya.
