Sorry for my delay in responding. I did not mean anything negative by it. It seems all I hear around town is there is nothing downtown but mexican shops. Some people do not like shopping in them. I for one find great shoes there! I am sorry if it sounded negative. All I was trying to say is that for the past 5 years or so, the only new businesses downtown have been mexican. There are now a few non-hispanic shops down there. It is starting to reflect our mixed community a bit better. That is better for our community. Downtown is one of the first areas our tourists see. If they only see hispanic shops, many will assume that is all there is in town. We are a diverse community and I am glad we are showing it.
