Downtown Fayetteville — A good walking place?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When I think about where I’d like to retire, I imagine a couple of settings.
One is at pretty much any beach. The other is a walkable community. I really like the thought of being able to step outside my front door and walk to the grocery store, a restaurant, the dry cleaner — just about any place.
To tell the truth, I wish Fayetteville was more of a walking community. I’d love to see the Main Street area enlarged to include outdoor cafes, art stores and maybe some boutiques. In its current state, there just are many places I’d want to walk to.
If Fayetteville did have a large and walkable downtown, would you use it? What kind of stores would you like to see? Or do you think that Fayetteville and Fayette County is simply too car-oriented to make a walkable downtown a success?
