So I have to walk from Broadway/Randolph to the RenCen then to Eastern Market, then high-tail over to Midtown. Yup, that sounds like a real treat for shoppers!

While I pray for the day the mall is dead and we all can take the bus or tram or walk into downtown to do our shopping here in Detroit, those days are gone and not back [[yet) and for now, the mall is shopping king. Independent stores can definitely survive with the larger, corporate stores side by side.
