AUDIT ROW #277 · THE NODE WRITTEN BIG, AT CENTRE STRENGTH

Walkerton's retail geography is a highway geography: the crossing of US 6 and State Road 23 and the Roosevelt Road corridor carry the town's centre-weight, and always have since the corridors replaced the depot streets. The banked set's transportation and food records establish the node's parts — the two numbered highways through town, the corridor's grocery and service cluster, the dining line — and this article enrolls the node itself as this section's highway entry at centre strength: the place where the town's shopping actually happens is a crossing, not a centre, and its tenants' successions are the food and business legs' records, pointed to and not repeated. The lifestyle-centre limb of the item — a themed open-air centre at the node — is a tested negative: nothing of that form was built at the crossing in the record reached.
