Update: I walked through the old industrial park in Tacoma yesterday and saw they turned the old paint booth building into a craft brewery.

It just made me think about how many shops like ours have moved out of those old city spaces over the last twenty years.

Better spots" is the part that gets me... it's not always a choice. The rent in those old buildings goes up so much that a regular shop just can't stay. Sure, a brewery is nice, but it changes the whole feel of a place. It ends up being a trade for the kind of businesses people actually need every day.

I mean, it's just how cities change, right? Those old buildings were sitting empty and now they're getting used again. It's not like every single shop got pushed out, some just moved to better spots. A brewery moving in seems like a pretty good trade for a dusty old paint booth.
