How about an ATM Machine! Or maybe two. Have you looked at the new street maps? Look for the little $ showing you where the ATMs are. Guess how many there are.
Mm-hmm. None.

No ATM's? What about the one at Huntington Bank? Rosie's? Dye? That other bank next to the State Farm office? I think there's one at Dollar Castle too (and if there isn't, I'm sure they'll put one in there soon - that place has everything).

Yes. I know of the Huntington one. I stood in front of it for 4 tries Saturday and every time it said "cancelling your transaction...would you like to try again?" I fell for that line 3 times. Anyway, if you ask me, someone shouldn't have to walk more than a block in any direction once they've decided they want to spend money in Ferndale but don't have cash.

I'm still hoping for a really good art/craft supply store! I hate the epic battles and endless wait times at Joann Fabrics. Utrecht is awesome for art supplies but it would be awesomer if I could walk to it :-)

Not if you want a space to read a book or hold a rally. The median doesn't do much for the city beyond provide a refuge for pedestrians and aesthetics.

Ok, just to clarify ... I'm talking about street access ATMs. Not privately owned ones that you lose access to as soon as the business closes. Dollar Store has one too. These little dialup style ATMs cost a fortune to use. If the major banks would put their own out there people could withdraw some cash without paying 5 bucks a pop any time of day or night.

A "Boutique" hotel or bed and breakfast. Lodging choices locally are sketchy, to say the least.....

Also... during the DDA envisioning exercise, that was one of the big things -- a hotel or B&B of some sort. You're not alone on that one.

A decent grocery store! I love Western Market, but for non-specialty items there is not a good option in Ferndale. Sav-a-lot is gross and Ferndale Foods is very overpriced and I often see food that should be refrigerated sitting out in the middle of the aisle.

I disagree that Ferndale Foods is "overpriced." Those folks have done a great job with a place that had gone to hell in a handbasket. I'm all for more and better. And this town could definately do with another grocery, especially if it w
