It should definitely help!

That McDonald's, with it's parking lot fronting the street is an awful eyesore. Should have never been permitted to be built there. There was outcry about it when it was proposed back in the late 1970s, but of course it's Erie, so they fucked up and allowed demolition of 19th century commercial bldgs and put a suburban design fast food restaurant in a block filled with 1820s-1870s buildings.

There has been talk of redeveloping that McDonalds lot for as long as I have paid attention to these topics, but nothing has been able to gain traction. The Hopefully with big money interests now owning much of the surrounding buildings, they'll be able to finally do something there.

I mean, can you do any worse?
