OPINION: 'Downtown Guelph isn't failing, it's asking us to show up'

GuelphToday

Take a look at small town like St. Jacobs where the summer months are filled with visitors (primarily women) who are spending their money at the nice shops while also enjoying lunch the lunch venues. There are a lot of owners who live in the new condo's downtown that would certainly prefer their money stay in Guelph but instead their enjoying the safety and variety of stores in the surrounding cities. Removing "Tent City" was a good start. I take my visitors to either Elora or St. Jacobs.
