Kind of surprised that there are no retailers at prime locations such as where the Hard Rock Cafe used to be, building next to the Hudson Cafe, and some vacant storefronts on Woodward. Granted the pandemic has taken a huge toll on retailers, but some of those areas have been vacant for a while. Broadway is another area that really needs to be redeveloped especially since Punch Bowl Social is no longer there.
