It wasn't Limridge that sucked the life out of downtown so much as it was the removal of the department stores from downtown. Rather than rebuild the older stores that were downtown they opted to close them and rely on people moving to the suburban malls. If we could entice a few of the large department stores back into the downtown I think it would go along way to reviving it. Just like suburban malls need anchors to thrive so to does the downtown.
