I am sure starbucks is just dying to get into Antigo since it’s closing the doors on 600 stores around the U.S. If they wanted to come to Antigo, they would have just found another location.

But the stores would come if they had something to come downtown to.

citereH, you totally misread my post. I never said anything about businesses leaving, what I was saying is that if you don’t include all of those formentioned places, we have about 10 stores downtown, if that. So with 10 places to go and shop (not eat, drink, or deal with finances), closing the ave wouldnt make it that attractive to tourists. We would need more stores first.

finally, an idea that has a little thought! Antigo really lacks in the retail clothing market, so hopefully this would attract some shops. There really isn’t anywhere for teenagers and young adults to shop. Get rid of a few dump buildings (use the new space for parking) and do some serious updating of the faces of the remaining downtown buildings and it might have a chance. We have enough traffic going through town, now we just have to do something to make them stop and shop.

Of course, this doesn’t solve the low paying job problem.

“DF2Y Says: If 64 does in fact by-pass town, this is a great idea. The only problem would be the number of businesses downtown. if you take out all the banks, bars, restaurants, and tax/income services, you’re left with under 10 “stores”.”

Why would those businesses leave? Most have rear parking & back doors. The restaurants might actually benefit if they could offer outdoor seating in summer. Be a nicer place to work, too, if you could stroll on your lunch hour!
