The river is a tough spot for restaurants or retail.
I used to love going to McCall's back in the late 90s. Remember McCall's Waterfront Cafe, between the Salmon St Springs fountain and the Hawthorn bridge? If I'm not mistaken, that place went through multiple owners, constantly changing because nobody could figure out how to make it work.
At first glance, it would seem like the river is a great spot for a restaurant, but in reality, it's not close enough to businesses or shopping, so unless the weather was amazing and it wasn't a work hour... the place was always dead.
