Revisiting this thread in 2023, let's see what has changed. The only space that has been there since the beginning seems tobe Von Maurs. I may be wrong. There is a theatre there now. As it has decent traffic now, parking has been a pain even though there is a parking garage of the main street. I still like the lake and the parks there. Stores and restaurants still go in and out of there. The area does feel more established now.
