^^^ There are almost no large retail spaces on Walnut street, or Chestnut Street. It seems department stores are pretty important to urban retail districts; just like at a mall, they serve as anchors. In Philly, Market street should be redeveloped to attract department stores and retailers looking for big spaces. And Chestnut and Walnut can continue to serve a more intimate retail setting for boutiques.

Philly is too awesome to have a mall in the suburbs be the dominant retail district in the metro.
