This solution is MUCH better thank keeping, and paying for heat, electric, etc. an empty building. Although I think many people will miss the bustling center with thousands of people that shopping malls are by nature, we have to think about this being replaced with something better, more akin to the steady traffic in the Arena District or Short North, or now, also around places like Gay Street where restaurants are popping up supported by the residential nearby. The focus should be getting people downtown; the retail follows rooftops as they say. Joe, I think you hit the nail on the head.
