When the South Main Market was demolished seven years ago, many Ann Arbor residents mourned the loss of a popular neighborhood retail strip.

The developer redeveloping the South Main Street site vowed to replace what was lost with new retail spaces on the ground floor of an upscale apartment building rising six stories.

Archive link isn't working for me, but given how quick new retail space is being vacuumed up in less hot places makes me think this is a problem with the Yard, not with mixed use development.
