That's exactly what it is.  A few nice stores and restaurants, but if you
go down their on a Saturday night, the people aren't there for the stores
and restaurants, they're there for the people.  Which leads to the
conclusion that people seem to go down there because they think it is 'the
place to be'.

In contrast, if you go to a place like New Hope, which certainly isn't
South Street, the majority of the people are there for the stores - to a
lesser degree for the people.  Each place attracts it's own type of crowd
for its own reasons, is what I guess I'm trying to say.

Also - have people noticed the subtle change in crowd at South Street over
the past few years?  Seems to attract a large amount of racing motorcycle
types than I ever noticed before - pretty annoying to have so much noise in
such a small area.
