Morse *was* the upscale shopping district, complete with Northland mall and cookie-cutter copies of every chain store.  Then they built Easton.  Northland closed.  Then they built Polaris.  Everything else closed.  Rent cheapened so the building owners could get *somepony* to at least use the space, and dollar stores and pawnshops popped up.  Same thing happens everywhere as time moves on and the fickle want things shiny and new.  Northern Lights (Cleveland &amp; Innis) still has an amazing GameStop that's somehow better stocked then the other 3 close by, and there's a really good Asian grocery, an awesomely large thrift store, and BuyBacks (which used to be better, sadly) at Cleveland &amp; 161.  There was a really good game store *in* Westerville at Shrock &amp; State, but that went out years ago.  I can't really think of anything else worth going to within its limits at this point..."}
