Plantation STAYS!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I'm friends with the owner and have "helped" out a couple times during his busy days. You may be surprised at how many people walk there to buy their gardening "stuff" and take it home via a wagon! At Christmas you often see people walking home with their tree! I think it's a crucial part of the community and actually adds to the urban environment.
While Sura could interact with the street better, the biggest hole is across the street - the former Rembrants and the office bldg around it. Walking from the McDonalds to north of 24th is like walking through a Walmart parking lot, sans the
POW. Nikon is also a street killer, though 4th Spot distracts it quite well!
For the past 12 years I've lived on 24th between 4th and Centre and while I love it, I do wish both streets were "denser" - though we do have our little gems!
