3. High Point
Everyone seems to agree that cars go too fast on Main Street, discouraging pedestrians and other sidewalk life. But no one on city council seems to make the obvious choice of dieting the street to create more friction (see High Point Journal on page 12).

Okay, so Stone Brewing is a no go, and our city’s new slogan, #SoGSO got co-opted by Facebook before the official launch.
