[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown used to have stores that were the only branch in the area and these were often higher end shops. I remember when there was a stand alone Betsy Johnson store and a Polo store for example. 
Then came the Tyson's II and the strip mall across from Tyson's with higher end retail and duplicate shops, 
Then by the time those were fizzling out, the internet stepped in.
So what made Georgetown a destination before was no longer viable. They could recapture some of this by reaching out to more unique retailers, making smaller foot print shops to reduce costs, and getting more independant and unique businesses ( again building landlords need to be far more reasonable on rent)[/quote]

It wasn't just high end.  Georgetown was high end and funky at the same time.  Commander Salamander was one of my favorite stores. When those types of stores started to leave, there was no reason to go to Georgetown.  I can go to a high end store in other parts of the city.  I like some of the high end designer stores, but I don't need to go to Georgetown for a chain store.[/quote]
