Main Street vs. main drag

Brandon has a main street, but it’s not the main drag in town. Is that the way it should be, or doesn’t it matter?
Usually Main Street is the center of commerce in a town, or at least it used to be. What do you consider to be Brandon’s center of commerce? Is it out by the Interstate? Across from the high school? On Holly Boulevard west of the school and the church? On Cedar east of Splitrock Boulevard? On Redwood Boulevard between Splitrock and Sioux?
Do you think Brandon should try to consolidate its commerce into one area, or is it ok to be scattered around town the way it is?

Giving directions to someone from out of town, you really need to specify Main St. or main drag. Business on Main Street seem to have taken up the locale advertising “on Old Main”. I like the idea of having an historic main street. It seems the VFW has ALWAYS been the VFW, and city hall has always been there.
