Talkback: Target, Best Buy at the Grand? Plus, five ideas to remake the mall

The key to success with Grand Ave will be making it a destination mall. Rather than a Target or Best Buy which is in every suburb, why not attract venues that are not in every mall...eg. Zara, D&G, Prada, etc... While I think the mall will need anchors that serve the downtown population and meet everyday peoples needs, kicking it up will give suburbanites and visitors a reason visit and shop :)
