But come on a Baby Gap?Instead of becoming a trendy cluster of boutiques, grocery stores, restaurants and bars patronized by urban professionals living in nearby lofts, Main Street draws a younger crowd more interested in late-night barhopping.
In recent weeks, several nightclubs have shut down, and downtown leaders see the closings as a chance for the Historic District to reclaim its original vision.
"It's kind of like there's a clean slate and a real chance for a turnaround," said Larry Plotsky, a retail-restaurant broker.
Among the bar and club closings within the past 12 months or so are M Bar, Boaka Bar, Mercury Room, Twelve Spot, Suede Lounge, Jones Bar, Six Degrees, Hiccups and Opus.
