I think Spanish Springs is suffering the loss of small town stores the same as other cities in America. I'm sorry to loose local small business and that unique feel of creative individual entrepuneurs. Everyone remembers the local hardware store and the soda shop. Becaras bakery to Starbucks is a good example. Sure you get a cup of coffee and the service is good, but it is replacing something that had an individual personality with another "franchise ". It's hard for the little guy to compete with chains.

I'm afraid the old town feel is gone. Our children will only know malls and HomeDepot and Berger king. They are good but not special.
