The Best Buy in that newish development on Clark St in Lincoln Park (not too far from Clark and Diversey) is a great example of how a megalith development can kill the streetscape.

You really do need the smaller retailers to face Clark.
The issue there is design not store....turning their back to the street with the wall along Clark.

Home Depot a few blocks west on Halsted says Home Depot every step of the way as you walk along the sidewalk.

Hope they do take pedestrians into account on the design side of this. I will only miss one building and that is the greystone on the south side of Addison just west of 7-11.
