Ultimately this is a business decision and the reasoning behind the decision is likely rather sound, since they undoubtedly do a ton of market research prior to making a change like this.
From an aesthetic standpoint I think that the space looks fantastic. Main street continues to look glorious as they have been refurb-ing many of the builidings recently.
Hooray for progress.
