Retail and Walkalbe Neighborhoods

Rather enjoyed the following paragraphs in a story about craft breweries in San Diego, a city half-strangled with roadways:

> There’s a pronounced trend of new, old, big and small breweries alike opening satellite tasting rooms in walkable commercial areas — Stone Brewery, Modern Times, Belching Beaver, Rip Current, Twisted Manzanita, Iron Fist, Border X and Lost Abbey have all done it or are in the process of doing it.
> 
> The tasting rooms help address one issue that could affect the industry’s continued growth: They allow the businesses to meet customers where they are, rather than relying on people coming to them.
> 
> “There are a certain number of people willing to drive anywhere, but there are more people looking to have that experience closer to home or work,” said Vince Vasquez, a policy analyst at the National University System Institute for Policy Research who wrote a report on breweries’ local economic impact.
