The West End isn't exactly taking off in this regard either. And there seem to be a lot of living spaces of this type downtown that're begging for tenants lately. So, 'twould seem that any new buildings housing loft-style spaces wouldn't fare much better in terms of occupancy than yet another big-box store "collection."

There are actually a lot of arts centers trying to take flight. Of course, Pendleton and Essex are well established, but there is a lot going on around the Solway Gallery on Findlay and Brighton corner. I am sure more elsewhere. And the are of East Oakley I was referring to is on the other side of the tracks from the big boxes. Serious track. Not movable tracks if you get the drift. Sort of a little island there between Milicron and Oakley.

Have you been to the new art gallery and coffee house on Madison?
