Retail madness

So in case you missed it.  A pretty sizable default of buildings at the South Side Works.  PBT: Soffer Organization defaults on three core SouthSide Works properties

An inkling of that was apparent long ago.    I guess the thing that I wonder about is why nobody ever poked much into the state of retail over there before this.  Maybe I missed a story along the way?

Still the redevelopment of the site remains one of the more remarkable stories when you consider what was there before.
