I had forgotten about Zack's.  It was a very good place before it moved away

The trend in redevelopment is 3 or 4 or 7 stories with residences above and so-called retail on the ground floor.
Unfortunately "retail" has become a synonym for over-fancy, over-priced restaurant.  A TruValue hardware or even a Radio Shack is never in the mix.  I can count at least 3 bicycle shops that have closed the past couple of years.
A bit of good news:  HSC has sold its remaining inventory to Excess Solutions on  South 7th St in San Jose.
