What would draw one to to shop AP - is it selection, price, the scene, food, proximity to other place of interest that day and parking. that comes down to is it a weekday destination shopping trip?

Then like it or not, you need a major co (or groups of little ones) who have employees with disposable incomes and or a major shopping destination - like a Marshalls where people just walk in and buy tons of useless items. We had this discussion before. What you have now is the funkiness that you want so cater to the night business of music and restaurants ( that means be open when people ARE there).
