I agree with the thread as a whole... so many local communities "Roll up the sidewalks" after 5-6pm on weekdays. I swear sometimes you'd almost see tumbleweeds rolling around!

I think that merchants are becoming more aware of the issue, though, and I'd like to mention"Thursday Nights Live" as a case in point. Last year was the inaugural year, but it unfortunately rained for a good part of the program. the concept was to have Meredith merchants all participate in an open-house style event every Thursday, with music, wine tastings, special sales etc. I think that the Greater Meredith Program drove the program, and I really applauded the effort. I understand that they're not doing this program again this year, though!

Actually, now that we're on the topic - Meredith even had a Farmer's market on Thursdays that ended, if I recall correctly - at 5pm! Bummer! I would have loved farm fresh produce to put right on the table at dinner, but all I ever saw were the tents, as I often got into town around 6pm!
