This site has done wonders for my optimism about San Jose. However, I have to ask: do you think the bunch of stuff opening is more than usual, or just part of the open/close cycle downtown seems to always be in? I can't help wondering with the closures of AP Stump's and Tied House (I'm sure there are more I don't know about).
ReplyDeleteYeah, definitely more than usual. More retail is coming in than out, and I also think the retail mix is improving. For example Ross will get way more utilization than the furniture store that was there before (Black Sea Gallery). Several months ago the Market opened on the ground floor of The 88. I was skeptical at first but it pretty much activated the entire block and has been filled with people every time I go there.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that 3 restaurants are doing well enough to actually expand is also a very promising sign (Morton's, La Vitoria, and Flames).

Their scheduled opening date is June 1st....
Thanks Anonymous! I was able to get more details, will break it out into a new post right now.
ReplyDeleteThe Pasta Market is opened already I believe. I noticed it last week and it tried it out. Really great food!
ReplyDeleteSan Jose has many places to eat... Very few places to shop. I would be there (and eat there) more often if I didn't have to leave Downtown every time I needed to buy something. Less pawnshops and discount stores. More mid-range retail and known brands. We have so many empty store fronts... Let's generate some foot-traffic and create a reason for people to return to the area.
