There was a grocery and a drug store in one proposal for the Deep Deuce area, but the out-of-town developer was chosen over the in-town developer. They did not have any of that type of retail in their proposal. That type of retail is still a problem in the downtown redevelopment plans of most cities.

As far as the creation of more canal level retail by digging out under the existing buildings, I hope they have fewer issues than we did with the JDM Place building. Ours was pretty challenging in a structural sense, but in some aspects it was easier since it occurred during the construction of the canal as it gave us more room to operate.
