For those looking for a Target downtown -- here is a possibility
The Minneapolis-based retailer is building its smallest-format store in one of the city's hippest neighborhoods, which is a magnet for young professionals. The new store, to open in October 2017, will occupy the ground floor of a new office and apartment building on the site of the former Cheapo music store along Lake Street.

Our culture doesn't support that kind of development. Just think of all the places that are in Midtown that are within a 10 minute drive of any street corner and have easily accessible parking lots. I think our best bet would be to have Hy-Vee build something like that somewhere between 20th and 480. I say that because they don't have a presence near Downtown, and the only competition is the Supermercado. They are the only grocer we could get close to investing in the community in that kind of way.
