  1. No wonder Radio Shack closed. Bye bye Five Guys/Subway/UPS Store & Foot mart too?

  2. And 5 Guys! The 5 Guys site will become a plaza that will hold the entrance to the new tower. Dutch Street will become much better lit. There will be retail at the base but it is not yet on the market. This is a huge step forward for Fulton Street.

  3. Will this affect Downtown Little School on Dutch Street?
