Kalamazoo Downtown

1)  Overall I thought that downtown Kalamazoo was a great downtown area.  It was both welcoming and safe area.  The area featured plenty of stores and restaurants with variety in both.  The only really downside to the area was the narrow one way streets.  It made driving a little bit crazy and confusing in understanding of how to get around the city.

2)  In some parts of the town, there were more empty areas with fewer stores and fewer people walking around.  To solve this they should maybe think about building more stores.  Also this area seems to only appeal to older people rather than younger, so they should maybe add more stores or attractions to attract the younger crowd as well as the older.  They should also add more public restrooms on the streets.

3)  "There are many shifts."  We went during the day where it is not that busy, but if you go later in the evening it gets more crowded due to the shift in time and change in schedule for people.  Its all about going at the right time depending on what kind of crowd you want to see.
