The supermarket-anchored shopping center would probably be oriented towards Canal Street. Oh, how I love my somewhat infeasible developments!

NitekKetin....I thing you have seen the plans!

What you see and believe is very feasible. I think that Spanish Plaza would become another better used parks than it is now as it will be in the buffer between Government St. and the developments on the Civic Center property.
