Fairview Park Mall - Grand Market District

[ijmorlan]

The city's main retail corridor is "forgotten"?  The thousands of people there every day must not have received the memo.

And what exactly is an “active” frontage? If it means outdoor circulation only, without so much as a portico to keep the rain off while I walk from one store to the next, I’ll take a proper climate-controlled mall almost any day. What are the indoor corridor frontages if not “active”? Rarely does a mall have a blank wall on a main corridor unless it’s temporary for construction. The only problem I can see is that interior corridors aren’t designed to tie into other nearby destinations — one always has to walk through a large parking lot, no matter from which direction one approaches. But that can be fixed without making everybody walk outside in all weather.
