Is it just me, or retail picking back up in this stretch (I'm mainly referring to WQW) more of the vacant restaurants/stores seem to be getting new leases. It's not like the hay day ~10+ years ago but curious if others see the same ? I think the east part closer to the core is still struggling more but even then some improvements (this tended to be less restaurants and more fashion stores).
