The downtown real estate market is pretty soft right now. I wonder if the investors in the large residential complex on 4th and Main are wondering what the demand will be when it’s finally built.
For some reason I often have this persistent memory of a summer night maybe late sixties or early seventies. Three movies are playing to a packed house. My mom and I were at the Shore mall for some reason, and I remember vividly the movies flickering on the big screens.
