IMO, Dillon needs people who are willing to change the status quo just a bit. The downtown area could be a fabulous shopping area with small boutiques and cafes. My SIL is very happy to drive to Florence for all of her shopping and doctor appointments instead of working to bring quality merchandise locally. At some point, though, she will find it difficult to make those trips due to age. The people who work to keep a church, pharmacy, and car parts place on every corner should be working to make Dillon into the wonderful little town that it could be. All of those people who travel to MB would probably like to have a place to stop on the way for good food and specialty shopping. When I have spoken to young professionals in Dillon, they always say those are the things that they want; however, they don't work towards it.
