Just as we see a flood of luxury condos and rentals --wondering who is moving into them -- we see more millennials on seamless and yelp and only going out to trending places. <br /><br />Ciao For Now has bucked that trend, and offered a quiet community space -- on a quiet Tuesday mid-week. But millennials -- and now most older folks on smart phones -- have lost the desire -- and even ability -- to be physically present. So casual brick and mortar shopping is now too much of a distraction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-85111344823121249912018-04-04T08:26:32.931-04:002018-04-04T08:26:32.931-04:00I remember when Jane's Exchange was in the spa...I remember when Jane's Exchange was in the space on 7th and B for a while; seems no one can stay there too long, because <i>the rent is too damn high!</i> <br /><br />I have seen no mention of Jillery's closing, which will happen much sooner than that of Jane's Exchange; I talked to Jill the other day and she said—as has Leslie McEachern of Angelica's Kitchen, and countless others—that commercial rents have become unsustainable. <br /><br />And—<i>deep breath</i>—we need the Small Business Jobs Survival Act more than ever.
