In the beginning (the 80s) it was almost all local shops. A handful of retail anchors…Laura Ashley, the 80s version of The Limited…Phillips when it had 4 total locations

Over time, it changed to be rented to more regular retail…then the gallery opened. Maybe it was too much retail for the city at that stage

Definitely too much retail at the time, especially in an area where locals didn’t want to bother going to shop since it involves too much hassle with parking, etc. They can go to the same stores with a 20 minute drive up 83.
