Sorry you feel that way, at least it is something other than dirt and dead space. It is development and it is needed. It does take time for places like this to grow. At least you have the beach and nice retail close by. It will all come together, it just takes time. Think about the whole Mobile and metro area about 15 years ago! Metro Mobile now has ten times more entertainment and retail to offer than what use to be. You have to think about the positive things. If the city would had went off of what most old Mobilians wanted for downtown, the RSA Tower would not even be there. Trust me, Eastern Shore Centre is getting plenty of foot traffic and I talked to the marketing director when I was home for the holidays and had great things to say about the place. I would like to see more different types of retail, but you only need so many Coldwater Creek and Ann Taylor Loft stores! What about Whole Foods, J Crew and A/X. Give it time, I am sure that it will all be awesome in a few years. At least Mobile has more now, and that is all that matters.
