<DIV>Thank you for sharing this article. It is intriguing. I have always felt the work we do in "Main Street" plays a strong role in building a sense of community because it works at many levels - economic, social, and environmental - all while preserving our communities' historic fabric. The research this article points to seems to support this.</DIV>
