Reply to comment by coconut_sorbet in Taaza co-founder is bringing Boston-based Burtons Grill & Bar to Carytown by Charlesinrichmond

Carytown being a local thing is on its way out unfortunately. It's a slow decline (on the order of a decade or two) but it's pretty clear. The rising real estate values surrounding it apply upward pressure on rents that local shops will have trouble with.

I don't think that's clear. It can be both local and national, which I see continuing. Most of the parcels don't suit national tenants.

Before my time here so I have no clue. But I don't think the publix Center rebuild is hurting anything

If anything getting scared suburbanites down here is great, they will realize there's nothing to be scared of

Retail is dying in general. Carytown will suffer to an extent but it is more "experiential" than an average mall.
