Why not?).
Especially now with Lyft and Uber becoming available and young people, especially not having to rely on Transit.

Like I said, this mall will be a success and achieve a good mix of tenants, which definitely includes a strong F&B offering and experiential retail (ie rec room).
Whether this becomes more of a nightlife hub really depends more on the demographics and demand of local residents. I'm not convinced nightlife will flourish here, not because of restrictive rules, but because of limited demand. I think it could be a small hub of later activity, but I just feel for the 1-2 nights people may go out a week, they will still chose downtown over a night out in the burbs. Especially as nightbus service increases and Uber/Lyft make getting around easier.
