Brick and mortar stores ARE dying. Online shopping has taken over. I think the best Detroit can do retail-wise is "pop up" stores, letting the little guy and the boutique type sellers sell for a temporary/short amount of time.
the only store I feel that could go downtown would be Pennys, bec. it needs to be in an urban city. But trying to bring in a bunch of retailers on a strip [[Woodward) is useless.
