Former Retailers NOT Coming Back To Newly Re-Constructed 178 Smith Street

oo

Before the November 2009 fire.

And now...

You may remember that last week, I wrote about the re-construction of the building at  #178 Smith Street,  which was destroyed in a fire in November 2009.  The little yellow aluminum-clad house has been rebuilt with a brick façade and a cornice that make it much more contextual than the original structure.
Some of you readers were wondering if the two retail tenants, a shoe repair place and a unisex hair salon would move back in after construction is completed.  That seems highly unlikely.  Just a few days ago, two "for rent" signs were taped on the storefront windows.   
Too bad.  
What would you like to see in there, dear Readers?
