People living downtown want a grocery store and everybody that doesn't wants entertainment.
If you want population to live downtown you build a grocery store.
Well.:sad:
Who supports the downtown more? :spinny:The 2k live in :swooneople or the 30 k visitors?
So.. you're choosing the theater?Why choose? And why does the grocery store have to be built on a prime piece of land in the main entertainment district. Build the theater or something here, and find an alternate place for the grocery store.
I'd be willing to bet a good amount that the actual 8,000 residents of downtown Des Moines support downtown much, much more than the visitors who stop in for a drink every now and then.

I work downtown, I live in the suburbs, and I visit downtown about every weekend. I go downtown on the weekends to visit places that are not available in the suburbs. So bars, restaurants, civic center, farmers market, sporting events, etc.
The Hy-Vee wouldn't be for me it would be for the people that live down there.
...and without people living in downtown, you wouldn't see many of those unique attractions, as they wouldn't have a consumer base to keep them downtown.
