After reading the first part of Big Box Swindle along with our discussion in class it became apparent that updating Carlisle would not be as easy of a task as one may assume. However, after a long discussion in class I believe that if you tackle one objective at a time Carlisle could be improved greatly. The first objective I would attempt would be creating a downtown for “young people,” not just for college students but for all late teenagers to mid adults in their mid-twenties. I believe this would be a good starting point for a new and more “hip” Carlisle. JS
