True that retail is slim but food-wise tt's gotten better in the past few years. It was just The Nosh and food trucks from 3001 to 38th, now you have Landmark, that tasty asian place, 7-11, Nelson's Market (which has a CRAP load of 6-packs for sale now BTW), Drexel's Starbucks (still hidden though perhaps not as bad as the prior building), Slainte is far better than whatever dive was there (despite the occasional corpse in a car outside it), etc.

Perhaps the shops on Samson, 36th, etc. make it tougher to open shops on Market(pre-existing competition). Not to mention the summer months are tough for some shops/eateries to weather when the student population drops.

Cheers,
G.
