I agree that downtowns need to offer something unique that you can't find in the suburbs to bring in suburbanites and visitors. However, downtown retail also needs to serve the needs of close-in residents. I don't shop at Saks, Nordy's, or Nieman Marcus (although the original flagship store is only a couple blocks from my office and is the only significant retailer in DT Dallas). I would and do shop at Mervyns, JC Penny, Sears, etc. I guess I'm just cheap.
