<p>*I was thrilled to see that Publix there within easy walking distance of Ridgecrest South. DD is a bit of a foodie & one of the reasons why she was thrilled by the dorms is that they have full kitchens available on 2 floors. She’s so happy to know that she can cook her own food when she needs to *</p>
<p>yes, and the Crimson Ride has a bus-stop by Publix.</p>
<p>* Next question…“The Strip” vs. Downtown…I don’t think I’ve seen that listed as 2 different areas before. Can you clue me in? *</p>
<p>Good question. I’m not exactly sure at what cross-street The Strip ends, but I’m thinking it ends about at 14th Ave. I would say Downtown starts at about Queen City Ave and goes towards Lurleen Wallace Blvd. </p>
<p>Others can chime in with any corrections. :)</p>
<p>There seems to be a “University Town Center Shopping Center” in the “Strip” area (that looks like the Publix area) and a “Downtown Plaza Shopping Center” in the Downtown area. *</p>
