My gut feeling is that Yale is waiting for the "right" tenant, although they have pretty high standards and are quite content leaving storefronts empty for years until they find what they deem a fit. Look at the empty storefronts next to the former Cosi and between Ivy Noodle and Trailblazer which have been vacant since being finished as well as all of the storefronts they built on Howe street with the new parking garage.

Sweet Relief, the Bead Hive, the Toystore, the Devil's Gear II, the schmancy gift shop whose name temporarily escapes me. What was once was a charming artsy college-town precinct feels like a ghost town. Thank goodness for Koffee and the cultural institutions on the south side of the street!

I know that downtown retail in small cities is definitely a tough nut to crack -there's a reason why we are overrun with banks and cell phone stores- and I do give yale credit for not filling up spots with whatever they can, but on the otherhand I have a gut feeling that perhaps they are too demanding sometimes. I do know of several Yale tenants who have chosen to leave due to high rents or stringent shop hours. Everything in the broadway district MUST stay open until 9pm, for example. So are they they empty because they are Yale-owned, or because they are Yale-owned will they be the first to be filled when the economy turns around? We certainly have a burgeoning restaurant scene.. I actually wouldn't mind if some of those storefronts turned into restaurants.

It's a little nutty that this main drag looks like this here. I lobby for a Crumbs bakery, which are in NYC, LA, Westport, Greenwich.... Email them to attract them to NH! http://www.crumbs.com/contacts/ Comment 2010-01-27T07:04:34-05:00 2010-01-27T07:04:34-05:00 14074 1783872 38684 Another person wants this fixed!
