[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it. I miss department stores and bookstores too. Blame amazon, not gentrification. Everything looks like an Apple store now.[/quote] I blame a little bit of NIMBYism- The Georgetown Mall redevelopment was kind of a disaster. Not that the mall was that charming to begin with, but the big box stores that replaced it lack all character. My understanding is the initial redevelopment vision was resisted for good reasons, but what they got was worse than it originally could have been. I'm a big fan of NIMBYism (I think residents should have a say in their neighborhoods) but that effort failed. I think their hearts were in the right places, it just boomeranged on them. Otherwise agree with the above. Shop local OP![/quote]
