Broadripple is burning

Is it just me, or has broad ripple lost a lot of what made it a destination?

Not an exhaustive list but just off the top of my head, things that have changed for the worse or are gone

  1. Casba closed
  2. Brugge is gone . Fries and food were Great. Not to mention triple de ripple
  3. Chumleys
  4. Corner Starbucks is gone. Not a huge Starbucks person, but disappointing to see a major storefront vacant
  5. Union jacks was a cool spot, moved across the street. I know they want their own building, but the old space was cool
  6. Broad ripple Kroger is gone.
  7. HopCat still vacant
  8. Sun King. Formally the three Wiseman Pizza. How is that place still vacant?
  9. Monon food company used to be really good. Now closed
  10. Public Greens, now closed as well
  11. Crackers comedy club is gone
  12. Marsh on keystone no more
  13. Biscuits restaurant was good . Gone
  14. Wellington pub
  15. Vanguard or usual suspects bar

How are these many retail bar restaurant spaces still sitting empty? Even with the influx of apartments and new people in the area? Am I missing any in the list? I know there's a lot more vape shops than there used to be

Edit. Others' suggestions i am adding late:. 16.Magic bus 17. Boogie burger 18. Donut shoppe on keystone 19. 3 sisters cafe 20. Peppers
