From Urban Richmond?:
While I hate to see businesses leave the city for the suburbs, a business- like a piano shop- that doesn’t attract casual pedestrian traffic perhaps doesn’t need to be in Carytown- one of the few truly pedestrian-friendly shopping areas in Richmond.
I totally agree. I never understood how the piano store or the rug store stayed in business. No offense to piano or rug afficinados, of course.
