These small specialty stores are nice and all, but can we start working on recruiting the mainstream/larger department stores as well? A true shopping destination [[if that's the end goal like someone implied earlier) have a mixture of upscale, low-end and mid-range retailers, like Woodward during Detroit's peak had.
Mainstream stores are the last that move to a reviving not the first. And downtown department store have all been regulated to cities that are major tourist destinations. There is no point hoping that the retail scene will go back to what looked like in the 1950's
