Yes, absolutely. The terms may vary, but the concept is universal.

I love Spanish Springs. It's got charm. Plus, the regular line dancers are wonderful.

It might not be practical, but I would love to see more homegrown or at least regional shops and eateries and fewer national chains locate there. Big box stores and big box food are boring.

Ok, I realize the guys don't find Hooter's boring. But gee, wouldn't a local restaurant with the same, um, attraction and actual food rather than industrial foodstuff be much better?

Are you kidding!

I believe the SS Starbucks was a victim of the popularity of Paneras, down the street. Paneras is a phenomenon. It's always packed. I wouldn't want a coffee shop down the street from it.

Starbucks is a classical example of retail oversaturation, and the last I knew, they were contracting pretty quickly in a lot of areas. Lewis Black has a funny comedy routine about "a Starbucks across from a Starbucks, and that my friends, is the end of the universe".

Dunkin Donuts has real good coffee. I bet it would do good at the squares.

Yes DD does have good coffee, but no refills. I don't usually drink my entire cup while I'm having my donuts, but would like to top it off on the way out. No Dice at DD. At Paneras, you can keep on refilling. You could theoretically sit there all day and drink their coffee and not have to pay for but one cup. They don't have the "kool aid" though.

Well, what can I say. We all have our own criteria.

I have to agree with those that say SS is thriving. Don't see it as a ghost town at all.
Also as others have said Starbucks not a major draw. Yes, a DD would be good also.

As far as Hooter's I am all for it, and have checked that block on the annual survey. I have to laugh though at all the misconceptions of people when you say Hooter's. Me & the wife think they have the best wings going of anyplace. And the price is right. The girl's? Yes, they are pretty, but as a general rule 99% of them are below average on the chest department, and the uniform, a tank top, shorts and sneakers with sweat socks and hose. I don't think that even comes close to be a "strip club/bar". Heck you see more driving past the pools, so I don't see it as a threat to marriages in TV! Plus, that is one thing that TV is lacking, and that is a true Sports Bar. You can say Beef O Brady's and it comes close, but doesn't have that "Pub" feel that Hooter's has.

That's funny. I said the same thing about Hooter's. A true sport's bar would be nice.

PTurner, actually back in my earlier single years, I did suscribe AND was a Playboy Key holder!
