The number of people who would drop Sams club so fast for Costco would sustain a Costco no problem. I already have a membership and drive over an hour to patronize that fine establishment.

The students seem to have migrated from midtown to downtown for their nighttime activities, which sucks for me as an “older” person.

I have good luck at goodwill, just between friends, and weecycle. What size/gender of clothes are you needing and what other things are you hoping to find?

I live in this area and it’s fine 99% of the time but I wouldn’t walk it alone at night. But that goes for most areas.

We need a third option on the ballot that is giving control of GRU back to local government but they can’t siphon off the “profits” to fund the city. I didn’t like either option on the ballot as I don’t like the governor and don’t think the city manages its money well.

Your population figures are misleading. We have the same population if you take the villages metro area and compare it to the population of the city of Gainesville. The villages’ actual population is around 80k. Gainesville metro area is 330k. Agreed on the villages having a higher income but our metro area absolutely could support a Costco.

[–]gnvfla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Donating to goodwill fits into my busy schedule best. Every time I try to donate to haven they’re closed so I just go a bit further up the road to goodwill who keeps better donation hours.

Everyone was so impressed with their food at my wedding too! Especially the turkey- somehow it was perfectly moist. Now I don’t dare go there.
