You’re probably right - I was just throwing out a question as to what demographics retailers look at before investing in a storefront. There’s been some talk here on TOTV about the lack of retail south of 44 (though I expect that to continue to slowly change in the years ahead), but in my interactions with the new residents south of 44, most don’t bring up or seem to care about the sparse retail down here. It appears to be a bigger issue for the older residents up North. That’s all fine, but there appears to me anyway, to be a bit of generational split on this issue.
