Northside seeks silver lining in store closing by Lloyd Nicholas, Contributing Writer

Excerpts:
"But despite the allegations of poor management by Target and their eventual
closing of their doors to buyers in the area, Sen. Higgins sees their
withdrawal as a blessing in disguise to the community.
"Their (withdrawal) should be viewed as an opportunity and a lot of small
business people in the area who are working out of their houses may be able
to get their wares out in a public place and expand (as a result of
ownership of the Broadway Avenue Target property) just like the enterprise -
the Mercado, on Lake Street where people come together."
"[Rep. Neva] Walker, however, said the retailer�s departure will cause
extensive economic damage to the area and recovery will not be easy. She
claimed that the vitality of established smaller scale businesses was
bruised when Target established the Broadway store now the shopping facility
is closing, she added, "the area is even worse off than before their
arrival."
