Gainesville's Annual Ghost Town
 

Gainesville's Annual Ghost Town

Published March 9th, 2011

If you look around a part of North Central Florida, it looks like a ghost town and it isn't because of power outages. The sidewalks along university avenue are empty and the signs posted in stores said it all we're closed.
They're closed at least until college students return.

To see why some shops decide to close their doors and why others don't, watch the video on the right side of this page.
