Record Number of Visitors Next Door

The News Tribune is reporting (here) that Point Defiance Zoo saw a record number of visitors pass through their gates last year. That means a record number of potential customers for our local businesses traveled down Ruston streets. Given the town's continued budget woes, it would be nice to find more ways to get folks to stop on their way to this world-class venue and visit our unique shops. Any ideas on how to make that happen?

Get some unique shops. There is no real reason to stop on Pearl for anything other than a starter or altenator.

...What shops?

Good points - there are not many retail shops here anymore. Ruston Galleries, The Antique Sandwich Company, and Don's Market are still here. Anything you'd like to see added?

And there are shops before you get to 51st Street; Tatanka and Ruston Trading Post, Oasis Salon, a theraputic massage office and the liquor store and casino... a unique bunch of shops.

Is the Cascino still open? Never see any cars there at all. Things will be nice when the corner fills with new tenants and the pub opens up. Things are looking up again for Ruston.
