I'm concerned that the town squares would be a bit of a monopoly with little competition.

bobnunny: Perhaps your responses would more accurately reflect your concerns if posters knew what city you are living in now and what it is you are looking for.
I moved down from the Minneapolis area and my wife misses the abundance of malls and the vast and varied amount of entertainment there. We both don't miss the higher taxes nor the snow; albeit its always a trade off as the last few days have felt like an oven here
having said that apparently on line shopping is overtaking mortar and brick stores anyway
We all adjust and we find that our needs change as we age
To satisfy her fix for mall shopping we travel to Ocala and Gainesville because in that she will never change
