I just retired from the military a couple of years ago and came back to Rome after 22 years and hardly nothing has changed. We have a few more restaurants, but the Mall is still the suckiest I've ever seen for a town this size, there are no real good places to go on a date and party, even though the town has built up as much as it has, there are NO FAST FOOD places on Loop 1 to serve North Rome and Shannon area. Broad Street would be gold mine if they would get all the buildings looking restored instead of new/contemporary and bring in some different business besides these finance companies that loan to people who can't pay there bills already and SUPER high priced children shops. It seems Romans are stuck in a time warp and don't want to let out their nickers. BUT...I want my children to grow up where I did. I just wish we could get a Targets, Joe's Crab Shack, a couple of fast food joints on the Loop and a Publix. |

I think that's horrible that they have suffered the curse of the building too! Shoot, there are hardly any good places to eat in this town, Carino's wasn't the best but at least it was a little different. I wish they would have just left that place a Shoney's. I miss the hot fudge cakes. As for Provino's, I guess to each there own. Yuk! |
