Can Corner Stores Mount A Comeback?
“Toderian champions a finely grained retail model he calls ‘corner convenience’: a small market, cafe/restaurant or service that ideally would be legal on every street corner across cities & suburbs.”
A no-brainer for better, more walkable cities & communities.

But I think we're right to have pride in the fact that we have corner stores within a 3 minute walk of everywhere.
The only downside is they would be ripe for the pickings by every repeat offender walking the streets.
We recently changed our bylaws and zoning to protect existing commercial spaces located on street corners. We have plenty of those, a legacy of the streetcar-suburb past.
