One incredibly amazing health food store filled with knowledgeable, competent, intelligent people. Fortunately, Springfield, Missouri, has several!

Not everyone likes to eat salad, grass, tofu, and skim milk ice cream. Isn't this a free country?

They would quickly be out of business...the majority of people just do not want or care about health food. They obviously want what is already being served...hence the success of it.

Hmmm, well ha ha I guess I can not live with having one thing in a community.

A mall or lifestyle center would probably be the one thing I need because I like a mall public gathering feel.

All though, if we had the stores a mall had and other suburban amenities then I would be satisfied.

If I had to chose one thing for a city that is a must it is the need for at least 50,000 people to live within one city. If I could have two things then the city would be in a region of cool climate.
I must have many amenities. Many choices, whether it falls under grocery stores, or restaurants or family fun-oriented amenities. I prefer more than one or two things to do. If for a weekend, or a week, I like to have the choices of going to the zoo one day, to the beach the next, to the park, to the museums, or to the aquarium, or a ballgame, to a concert, or a special function, or an amusement park, or shopping, or stay at home and chill, or to the theater, a play,....just many things to choose from...
