I have that job thing too, so I can scam a quick visit off of my friend in Cambridge and all.

I was thinking, since I don't kno wnearly enough epople around here, and seeing as how fruheads are such an extraordinary group of people...*grin*... how about dinner somewhere after the show and stuff on friday? I'd like to put some names to faces, etc. oh, and make more road trips to see moxy, which of course requires people to take with me :) - -tara ------------------------------ Date: 29 Jul 1998 01:11:13 GMT From: nasust@aol.com (NasusT) Subject: pedestrian malls (was: Walmart Policies (related to Warning Sticker thread) Stephen wrote: >Burlington has tried for years to draw people back downtown; one >of its most successful efforts to that end was to create the >Church Street Marketplace, a pedestrian mall in the middle of the >city. And a pretty pedestrian mall it is, Stephen. I had a great time walking around downtown Burlington in early May...the problem was, it all closed by 6pm. We have the same problem here in Buffalo. As a kid, I remember coming downtown to shop, because the huge department stores were there. We have a pedestrian mall now as well, but there is now virtually no business downtown. It's terrible. Shells of businesses now closed. I was discussing this over the weekend with a friend, and we both brought up Boston, which has a decent pedestrian mall in Downtown Crossing. True, Lafayette Place (the mall) closed there, but it still is a heavily shopped area, with Filenes and Jordan Marsh (or is that Macy's now?) The pedestrian mall links up to Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall, two historic areas of Boston (and the North End). Perhaps what our two cities need is a similar tack: linking commerce with history??? Just a thought.

He did remember to get Jian's this past weekend in Syracuse, and he got Dave's ages ago (perhaps at that same Iron Horse show), but Mike and Murray are absent. He's lucky to even HAVE that shirt after Andi-from-Lancaster confiscated it this weekend, IMHO. :D BTW, Kris dragged me to my first FruShow and abandoned me at the bar, where I intended to hang out with the "cool people" and wait till the show's end. By the end of the set, I was hooked. That one show turned a near-agoraphobic, old-beyond-her-years mom into someone who'd drive to a foreign country at the drop of a hat, on two hours' sleep, to see Fruvous play a 30-minute set (:::points to Huron Carole Ottawa tickets::::). I'm having much more fun now! Plus, I get to spend all kinds of quality time humiliating my son in public. - -kimberly ------------------------------ Date: 29 Jul 1998 01:46:39 GMT From: fruwench@aol.com (FruWench) Subject: Re: August in Toronto >>I will be in the Middle Ages in Pittsburgh for that weekend and the next. > >Which are you going to? >--Novac Both. I am going to spend a week camping in a field at Cooper's Lake near Pittsburgh in the middle of a Middle Ages Recreation. 10 whole days of swordplay, archery, campfires, dancing, singing, sampling homebrew ale and wine, shopping, and wenching. And just to make Ceecee jealous . . . as the sun goes down after the battles, dozens of dumbeks will echo across the fields and I will be dancing at a different fire every night. (Except Wed when I have promised to sing and/or play at a Celtic Bardic Circle.) And I am expected to dance at the gypsy camp Friday. PS - As a Philadelphia local, we ARE marching on Pittsburgh!!!

(i've been doing a lot of that this summer and am getting tired of having only myself to entertain...) also, if there's anyone interested in splitting fuel and toll expenses, i have a car and am planning to go to toronto for the bonus weekend. again, i just REALLY don't want to drive alone. ...and also can't afford to.

Honestly -- not just saying this as a lifelong Burlington resident with a tourism industry to promote -- the city is hopping. A friend from Long Island visited Burlington over a weekend in May, and told me he loved the place. The bars close at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning; the coffee houses (of which we have six or so within a few-block radius) close at midnight; a few clubs have performers every night; there are a lot of great restaurants; and so on. Beautiful, clean, safe, and quite active. There's really a lot to do, especially if one has attained majority. - --Steve SStephen R.
