No Hudson's but Shopping is Back Downtown

Chain retailers are now looking at urban areas as the next round of expansion. I for one actually look forward to when chain retailers are located in the city of Detroit, and not just in the suburbs. People will drive to get to the stores in the suburbs, even if there are good independent retailers within the city. Many major cities already have these options, Detroit does not.

Midtown area would be perfect for some of these chain retailers to congregate. I could see "The Gap" somewhere near the corner of Woodward and Warren for the young college students and professors to shop at.
