Hope that it works, and similar progress here will follow.
Marianne--the Arcade has been "re-built and re-invented" maybe more often than the former downtown area of Middletown, with the same end results.
I know a few businesses similar to mine that lost a bundle trying to make it work in the Arcade.
Re-inventing a seriously dead former downtown is a major struggle, and too exoensive for most small private businesses. Occasionally a group can band together and make it work, however you need a strong adjacent residential stock with enough discretionary income to support the area business options. A key obstacle in our situation.
Though the area is now a huge vacuum, downtown Dayton does have a few assets from which to build uopn.
IE:Dragons, Canal St.Tavern,Oregon District, Jay's, Memorial Hall, Victory Theater, a few upscale condos
Still--on a daily basis(very necessary), the Arcade will be a destination for just whom?

Two other things that Dayton Arcade has that the former downtown Middletown does not have:
