When you combine the attitudes of these retailers with the push for more residential downtown - I'm not surprised by this at all.

I've always had the feeling that if the Roy Building/Discovery centre got built with residential in mind, there would be some push of stores from Bayers Lake. The only thing is now, they have to get built. No more talk, get it done.

I have the sneaking suspicion that if Agricola was to turn into a high density area with the same building heights as trillium (or taller) and the commercial footprints to provide a range of sizes, you'd see other retailers (possibly even big box stores) more there. Especially if the city went what I call "oober" high density (30 stories or more) and put thousands of people there.

Ah one can dream!
