^^^I cannot find any reference to that block in this week's BizTimes. On the other hand, looking around SocketSite some more, I found this:
Quote:
One can't fully appreciate the scale of the change about to occur along that section of Market Street without considering the massive westward expansion of the retail district that's about to occur as well.
It is my understanding, a half dozen or so major national retailers are looking to set up shop on the 900 & 1000 blocks of Market Street (5th-7th)
Leading the movement into no-mans-land is likely to be Target. Target is about ready to publically announce plans to open a "flagship" store between 5th and 6th. (on the site of the old theaters, i think..)
I vaguely remember hearing some of the other names looking in the area were: Kohls, Ciurcut City and yes.. Wal-Mart!
I can hear the poverty activists screaming already...

Whether the person who posted that knows what he's talking about, I cannot say.
