I saw reports this morning that Clyde Common won’t be reopening. At this point, I expect the majority of independent restaurants and bars to be wiped out. Of course, new ones will eventually open, but the landscape will be significantly altered.

One silver lining might be a new focus on the lower end of the market. That would be fine by me. Might be hard, though, unless property values and rents decline.
