    Nice. Now that the RDA has created all those empty lots, they shall stay empty lots.

    Unless, of course, developers are willing to build without huge subsidies from the city.

    HA HA HA HA HA...just kidding

    From the P-T on Z-Gallerie closing:

    "He (Zeiden, owner of Z-Gallerie) said the focus on the Pike at Rainbow Harbor in recent years only added to Pine's decline and led to the loss of retailers.

    "That was the nail in the coffin," said Zeiden, who saw sales "drop immensely" at his location. "Basically, that killed Pine Avenue. There's no reason for people to go there."

    RDA's Craig Beck was "disappointed" but not enough to return Zeiden's calls. Another empty storefront. How incompetent and wasteful does an organization have to be, before the folks behind it are run out of town?
