All I know is that I've seen many a business on Main Street struggle for one main reason - lack of parking for people near the business. That and a parking garage facility on Main Street would do wonders for people from outside the area feeling comfortable about where to park. In addition, one parking garage on one corner or in the middle of town would probably generate a ton of revenue. Ideally, I would have one on both ends of town, but I'm always looking for people from outside of the area. Asbury is definitely looking for people who can walk to the downtown area right now. Yahoo!
