Whole Foods are around 36k sqft. Something like that seems about right.

Mark, no thank you brother. 26.2 is enough for me. However I do admire that kind of badass endurance. I am sure it is very tough and that mountain has got to be a back breaker, good for you man!

But, seeing a Home Depot on 3rd Ave next to Bloomingdales blew my mind about urban core big box retailing.

What fits comfortably in 26k feet?
Zara or H&M. I could totally see a fast-fashion type retailer taking a spot like this to compete with Urban Outfitters. These kinds of brands favor trendy urban markets over shopping malls (although obviously, theyāre located in both). And tbh, Iām not mad at them. You see them scattered throughout most big cities in Europe, and I like seeing them in urban areas. Also, Iām shocked NC doesnāt have a Zara yet.

That would be perfect!
Whole Foods with La Farm? Target with Starbucks? Harris Teeter with Starbucks?

Thereās zero chance of a whole foods downtown. The one on Wade Ave is already worried about Wegmans, Publix, and Weaver St Market cutting into their customer base.

So when Charles Meeker was Mayor, he said any resident could talk to him about anything they wanted if they could just keep up with him on his morning jogs so there is some sort of DTR talk about things and run precedent. @softfurrykitty we do have mutual stake in the fact that there are no accessible tracks now that Martin Middle is locked up (did you ever work out there?) Leoās idea of a big box store with a track inside would be badass. Or at least a Raleigh park with one other than that tiny thing at Chavis. Also, @softfurrykitty good on you for staying in shapeā¦its hard to carve out time for that sort of thing this day and ageā¦20-22 mile training runs are a big chunk of a day. Obviously I hate the time spent in cars taking away for other things I want to do. Anyway cheers.
