I live near downtown Pendleton.  I shop at Walmart and Melanie square when the price matters, but I shop downtown to get unique items or because the costumer service is so much better.  There are several shops downtown I'm loyal to because of their excellent customer service.

I used to live on 2nd street in Baker and didn't have a car.  I could get everywhere I needed by walking around downtown, until Albertson's moved away to Campbell St.  But I still like Baker's main street better than Pendleton's.
