Main Street and the Mall

1.-There are not too many benches and they are not placed near each other
-Food and clothing stores not located near each other.
-The area in front of stores is not too distracting from the merchandise inside--fancy sidewalks, or too many plants.
-There is a 'generator' to attract business for itself and other related businesses.
-Trash cans and newspaper vending machines are a dark green color.
-Shops only have to attract someone's attention within 8 seconds
-Layout of stores is done with the principle that people will turn right in mind
-The stores have signs in front with the brands that are sold there, in addition to the name of the store

2. I agree with Gibbs' argument that "Main Street" should be a mall. If Main street were like a mall, then main street would be much easier to shop in. It would also be laid out in a way that was logical, so that shoppers would find shops with the most products that they are looking for, with the least trouble.

3. -There are free areas for parking that are located near the Main Street.
-There is some variety in the types of stores on the street (including restaurants).
-streets are not so busy with car traffic that it is hard for pedestrians to cross the road
-The Main street is clean
-There is some 'green space,' near main street--like a park or field; there should be at least trees or flowers along the street
