I feel they should open later in the day and stay open later at night. I feel that is a big reason why down town DG is a ghost town except for bars and restaurants after dark! Bob,

Do we really need more days of shopping before Christmas? I prefer to focus on the holiness of the season and preparation for Christmas. I will continue to reserve my one day for shopping in the first or second week of December. No changes necessary. Do we really need to shop earlier?

The first night I brought my gf down there (now my wife) she said that it was "nice but looked like a morgue" at night. I agree with Chad 100%.

It would seem that there is more foot traffic during the afternoon and evenings. Not counting weekends of course. Our downtown must not be that retail juggernaut people thought it was during the ATI conversation. Not to be all scrooge here, but why don’t the stores stay open later all year round?
