>zzzza,
I think the point you make is exactly the one BMF is trying to make. A college town is considered to much more than apartments,dormitories, student hangouts, and fast food outlets. By the way I can't believe you would have the stoones to walk the streets of IV at 1:00AM in view of recent crime reports!!
