Love to have a nice restaurant there and perhaps with some buildings vacant, some might become parking lots or mini parks to enhance and liven the city up...it is dullsville
The City already razed a bunch of buildings on Roosevelt Avenue to build a park and a parking lot next to Slater Mill in the 1960s, but that didn't exactly help that strecth to become teeming with economic activity. Better to get the vacant space renovated and leased.
