In the mix

I happened to be in Kennett Square on a recent Saturday morning and noticed what an absolutely bustling place it was. Folks were breakfasting or having coffee; men were waiting for haircuts; the library staff members were getting refreshments ready for a music program; shops were just opening up.
I mentioned this to a friend and she offered an interesting theory. Kennett, she said, is thriving because it has finally found the right mix of businesses. She said she doesn't mind driving around hunting for a parking spot because it's well worth it: she knows she's going to be spending more than just a few minutes buying clothes or jewelry or artwork or having a nice meal.
