But there is a sweep trend for franchised business to incorporate themselves into existing structures. <BR/><BR/>My friend just moved to Old Northeast St Pete. and across the street from her house is a CVS in a building that looks like it used an old movie theater. <BR/><BR/>I would support a local business but I will support a Panera if it moves into the area too. I don't think you have to sacrifice originality and character just because it's a nationally recognized business. <BR/><BR/>Don't you agree the corner where Starbucks currently sits is more aesthetically pleasing then it was this time year?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1160143188219619262006-10-06T09:59:00.000-04:002006-10-06T09:59:00.000-04:00I also love Panera, BUT..

The independent businesses are what give a neighborhood like SH its character. We (and I love speaking for everyone,haha) don't want SH to look like every other corner in the area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1160139591185097622006-10-06T08:59:00.000-04:002006-10-06T08:59:00.000-04:00More changes in the hood.

Every week there seems to be less and less cars, maybe it will close :). <BR/><BR/>The oil place at the interstate on Sligh Ave has switched hands it used to be a like RJ's or something now it's a chain. <BR/><BR/>Every day something changes in the neighborhood. <BR/><BR/>And I agree bring on the PANERA. <BR/>I love soup it's healthy and cheap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1160035507667594302006-10-05T04:05:00.000-04:002006-10-05T04:05:00.000-04:00Van Gogh is for sale - they bought a warehouse in ...Van Gogh is for sale - they bought a warehouse in drew Pk to run the business fromAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
