It’s the last hurrah for Macy’s Downtown. No Lazarus, no Marshall Fields, no Jacobsens, no major department store anywhere near downtown. We went the last few days of clearance sales and there was very little of any itnerest left. Deals could be had on rugs and runners and I could have used a 16 foot runner @ 70% off the ginormous price tag but didn’t bite. We did pick up a store rack on wheels on which to hang our coats in the foyer – as much for nostalgia for what used to be the Region’s major shopping attraction as for utility (our antique tri-pod coat tree had seen better days and often tipped over).
Anyway, what will become of the City Center Space now that the City of Columbus has the keys With Nationwide Realty Investments in charge, great things are expected. Whatever happens, three things are certain:
It must be brilliant because it’s going to be a driving force for the south end of downtown for the coming decades and beyond.
It won’t be done for a considerable amount of time – I’d guess 5–7 years before whatever incarnation takes shape there to be free of construction and longer if it involves selling all residential properties that may come of it, or leasing all new retail/office space.
It won’t look in on itself and shut out the city streets. Lesson learned.
