Not sure how some of these retail experts on here decide on what constitutes "normal people shopping" and "normal person places". Isn't it a little conceited to suggest anything they themselves don't frequent to be abnormal? Likely these experts couldn't afford the Rice Village area, settled on the Heights, and are frustrated when they can't figure out why they still don't have a Starbucks or a GAP down the street?! Here is a prediction! In 5 years on 19th there will be a few more restaurants, a few more "junk stores", and maybe somehow a Pier 1 slips in for the retail experts. Everybody wins!
