A few ideas for a Downtown Farmington identity, from resident Mary Burck:
Farmington could be a Cowboy town:
saddle shop/ Horse drawn carriage rides on a regular basis/ Scott Colburn satellite store/Western themed Farmington Area Founders Festival
Farmington could be a movie town:
Avalon Films/Purple Rose Movies/Funny Film Fest/quirky movies or themed movie nights at Civic/Blockbuster video store/Farmington Idol
Farmington could be a Fitness town:
Treadmill store/ outfitters type store/ Walking Shoes store/ yoga studio/rainbow rehab/walkers club/Fun Runs/dance/Fitness 19
Farmington could be a skateboard town:
Tie in with Riley Skate park/ Skateboard shop/ Sports apparel/surf type shop/ Hockey store/Hockey News/ Figure skate costume shop
Farmington could be a medical town:
Doctors’ Offices/Skin care clinic/ plastic surgeon office/ dentists/ Rehab/ Spa/Senior programs/ Medical equipment/Holistic care
Farmington could be a specialty foods town:
Spice shops/kitchen shop/unique gourmet restaurant/Seattle Suttons type business/ anchor restaurant/ Cheese shop/American Spoon foods/
Farmington could be a History Town:
Book Store/Genealogy/Coin shop/ Antiques/Appraisals/Warner Mansion gift shop in town/reproductions/ architectural firms/
Thoughts? Suggestions?
There is a significant youth movement building behind the Riley Skate Park project. Farmington could become known as “skate town USA”.
Genealogists never die, they just loose their roots.
