5. Honestly what did downtown in

accompanying the rise of malls, is extremely expensive parking. That's what did away with my trying to recapture the nostalgia of shopping downtown. Plus, with Dayton's gone, it's never been the same.

It's fine if you're already going there for work or changing buses, but otherwise it's too much of a hassle, more than driving to the burbs.
