You know, I have been selling real estate here in Alexandria for 28+ years now. As I drive down Broadway Street from 3M to Big Ole, I see two rent signs for retail, one at the Daily Grind location and one at the Quizno’s building. Going up 3rd Avenue to the East to Nokomis street, I see one rent sign at the old Color-Rite spot next to Zion Lutheran Church. I don’t know if I can ever recall this much space occupied with little or no vacancy. Couldn’t this be classified as one of the best ever as far as the economy goes for broadway?
I have seen a lot worse on this main drag as time has went. Keep your eye on the pendulum.
