What do YOU want to see in Longmont?

I just wanted to share some of these things that I found in Casper, WY...a town with 30,000 LESS people than Longmont. We need to up our game. You belong in Longmont...if you like what we've got because we have a tough time welcoming new things.

 

Bugs & Daffy were kind of insane but the restaurant had classic cars, dinosaurs, palm trees...all kinds of awesome stuff. I desperately wanted to go. I can't imagine how packed with families it would be on a regular basis IF we had something like this in Longmont.

My honey is capable of sniffing out any comic or game store. We didn't look for it but there it was. We have a game store in Longmont but no comics. I hear people talk about the one we used to have all the time. They'd definitely visit a comic book store IF we had something like that in Longmont. Again.

This shop was awesome. Beads and jewelry makings, along with custom pieces from local artists. It was a small space full of treasures. A small space like this might last here IF we had something like this in Longmont. Again.

Last but not least...CDs and records. I know it's old fashioned and everything but I still love going to look at CDs. This specific store has been around a long time and is still rockin'. I'd definitely stop in and browse IF we had something like this in Longmont. 

My point here is that I think a lot of people think we can't sustain certain kinds of stores (partly because we haven't had them or because previous stores have closed) or that we'll just go to Boulder. I don't want to go to Boulder unless I have to or choose to. Give me some variety downtown. I know we're getting all kinds of new stuff and I hope it continues! If I could open a kid-friendly comic, music, bead store I'd be all over it. Anybody want to fund that? Eh? Well you know where to find me.
