I saw a program on HGTV the other evening about a couple that sold their home in the country and bought an old store in the downtown section of a small town. They had it all remodeled and an area like a garden built that separated the front from the street making the entrance private, it was really nice. They did this because neither wanted to drive any longer and this way they were within walking distance to everything and that was so neat. They got the store which was closed for sometime for a song too. Wouldn't mind doing that myself.
