TC
(TC). Is a much more useful term than downtown for small communities. Many suburban and small town TCs are not major employment centers, though such clusters may be elsewhere in the town or in a nearby town. Also, in these TCs pure retail tenants may be outnumbered by restaurants, drinking places, hair and nails salons, barber shops, amusement and fitness operations, etc. These suburban downtowns have relatively weak CBD functions.
