Another place that specializes in seafood, such as an order of whole-belly clams, or a lobster roll, breaded fried shrimp, and so on. Fresh-filled cannolis with your choice of flavors or dip-ins.

Each booth or stand or bar would be individually owned, and they'd all pay a share of the rent. It'd be like a permanent food truck festival without trucks, and all under a roof to protect from the elements.
I love this idea... but did you read the comments from people when they opened up the food trucks down in "Fenney?" People went nuts! They were insulted.
Can you imagine what people will say if they put a food court in Spanish Springs??? "We used to have nice indoor restaurants in Spanish Springs, but THE DEVELOPER didn't want to invest so now they're giving us cheap outdoor fast food because it costs less to maintain. Next they're going to cancel entertainment in the square so they can add more fast food stands. Oh.. and more apartments."
