Trader Joe's

[rebound]

Or, better yet, close it off to automobiles and put in a (real) trolley for the mile.  Make all day passes available for the trolley similar to the all day passes in Munich Germany when I was there in 1995.

I'm all for reducing to single-lane each way with a center turn lane, but closing it off entirely isn't really viable option.  The parking Logistics would be a major issue.  Closing off Peoria would force all parking to come in through the neighborhoods on each side, and would cause more issues than it addresses.

The neighborhood traffic has been a contentious issue for quite a while as it is now.

Closing it off may not be realistic but I was thinking of something like the Memphis Main St Trolley.  It's under a major reconstruction but it was fun when I was there nearly 10 years ago.

It's too bad there is not really any space for a Park-and-Ride lot.

Edit: There would also have to be a trolley barn for storage and maintenance.

Signage going up today for the shops next door. The middle store is going to be a smoothie shop I've never heard of and the shop right next to Trader Joe's is going to be an ATT authorized retailer.

Smoothie shop seems decent but att???!!!! This debacle is on whoever is responsible for finding a tenant.  You are telling me there wasn't any better option?

Lame. It amazes me how many cell phone stores there can be. What can that possibly be about?

Making the mortgage payment.  I’m not excited about it either but it is a business after all.

Right. I get that the developer of the property will rent to any tenant who's willing to pay. My question was, how can there be so much demand for a cell phone store in every shopping center? There are some things people won't drive far for. Other stores that people will trek to out of state for. How did cell phones become something that you absolutely must have on every other block? Just drive to the damn store at 15th and Lewis or something. It's madness.

That's also going to be a humongous cell phone store.

They have to be on every corner. It the only thing they can find when their phone dies and they don't have the GPS navigation app to help them find anything further than a half mile.

I'm sure they like the visibility being right on Peoria gives them too.

I’m guessing they have to be pretty profitable for there to be so many.  I get tired of predictable retail clutter as well, Rex.
