Everywhere you turn in the commercial developing world you hear jibber jabber about "mixed use developments" and "town centers". Like it was something new. Like the developer, Mr. Smarty pants invented the term.
'just a little tip...Mixed Use is not a new concept. Remember Main Street USA with retail down and residential up? Remember the town square? That's where the old guys used to sit and talk about cows and hay and rhubarb pie. That's where you went on Memorial Day to watch the VFW color guard. That's the place your where your mom would let you ride and not worry about being hit by a logging truck.
I guess the nice thing for us is that developers are finally figuring out that we liked that stuff.
