You left out Ruth’s Chris, they are an original tenant.
The downtown Ruth’s Chris Steak House did not open until mid-1996.
Circle Centre is a shell of its former self. Most of the big anchor tenants have departed with many more not renewing leases. What once was a major draw to the downtown retail scene is now en embarrassing eyesore for all that visit the city, both tourist and convention attendees alike. How bad does it need to get before something changes? It’s shocking to see retailers that at first glance appear to be gas station retailers with sodas, chips and tobacco operating in what was once a thriving mall in the heart of our capital city.
Why can’t they get something in the old Carson’s space like a Target. It is still sitting there filled with trash and homeless people…
Keep and increase restaurant spots. Turn second and 3rd floors into hotel rooms. Keep theaters and food court and office space. Convert rest to nice hotel or convention space. Super Target in Carson’s space. Or bring in better retail space overall. Another Apple store and a CB2 or Room and Board. City could fix this if it wanted to.
Some nice ideas expressed here. I think part of the solution would have to be to re-establish the intersection of Washington and Illinois Streets as a desirable and safe place to go, rather a place to avoid. Mr. Morris of IBJ had an interesting piece on this topic a couple of months ago.
The recent internal “remodeling” didn’t improve its appearance. In my opinion it looks worse.
