It's been my observation that in Minneapolis, if a building
is more than a year or two old, the thing we do it take it
down and build new.

What I don't get is the assertion that Target will "replace
Penney's." Unless they are going to change their
merchandise, Target is not in the same class as Penney's--or
Donaldson's. Remember them? Penney's, Sears, Donaldson's,
Kohl's, Monkey Wards, etc. are the middle level of
shopping. You can buy living room furniture there--and it
will last. Or a frig, or a lawnmower. Target is more on
the level with Wooley's, though you can't get crochet thread
for your granny or those little blue bottles of horrific eau
de cologne that we insisted on getting for our mothers. I
think we were enamored of the blue bottles.
