thanks karen, you're summarizing what I've been pointing out, as far as the disconnect between the premise about the firehouse's success and its actual success. (and I don't see this as a disagreement between us). and it looks like we're in agreement that the installation of dock street (dormant since 2001) at the firehouse meant that local vendors first had to move elsewhere. this 'moving around' is what I was pointing out to bruce and al, offlist, in the first place. here is that original exchange, in its original context:

How does this point relate to the idea that many of the proponents also endorse, that Baltimore Ave be somehow made more of an upscale "destination" for people who don't live in the area, presumably by replacing commercial enterprises that serve nearby residents?

Hadn't heard of a plan to replace commercial enterprises that serve nearby residents. It would seem to be difficult, what with lease contract and private property ownership rights. Whose idea is it? Do you have any references or citations to share?

If new, upscale shoppes, fern bars, boutiques, etc go in, something's gotta give. There aren't enough empty spaces in which they could be located. Contract and property rights violations aren't involved (as you know).
