Look at how long the Hechinger's building has been vacant. Then as the county and city are spouting off about becoming the Green Capital of the U.S. a Lowe's pops up on property that should probably be designated wetlands.

NBD is a lot like Ollie's on Erie Blvd. or Big Lots - a closeout/discount store. Very hit or miss in terms of whether you'll find deals worth buying but overall not a bad thing - and it's one less vacant store. I think it opened last May or something actually. It’d been vacant a long time.

Is this a good thing? I'm assuming it is, but is Name Brand Deals something like a Dollar Store? How long did it take to get that building filled? Very interesting! Is this a good thing?
