A clear case of the have's and the have not's. If cash was the only consideration, it would appear that the establishment stays entrenched.

May? There's no doubt about it. An economic development strategy based on retail is going to fail in this economy.

Joel,
I one-up ya on the sarcastic, cynical hand you just played – Aren’t we glad we built Stealyard Commons? Wonder when those stores will be big hulking empty spaces? We needed to replace a big heat island in the central city though and now we have.
Columbus is tearing down their central “mall” after a scant 20 years. How long til scrappers are dismantling dead malls in NEO? I think they have almost run out of residential property to strip.
How long til the sumacs are pushing up through the cracks in that parking lot? Or in the lots at Beachwood Place, Legacy Village, Parmatown, Crocker Park… etc.
On the bright side, could this signal a return to small businesses in walkable communities? Is this a clue that more is not better?
