I'm surprised that Potbelly lasted as long as it did. I lived over by there five years ago when it opened and I hardly ever saw anybody in there. I guess it finally caught up with them.
It probably could, but it shouldn't. It's got a lovely density and has a very European scale to it that would be a shame to lose. The Greenway is a nice divide.
I think it's a lack of marketing. They have had nearly no advertising for the theater. If I didn't work in the seaport, I wouldn't have known it was there either.

The lawn on D also serves alcohol. They're checking to make sure nobody brings in outdoor booze. It's not really a public park, its a bar with some park-like elements.
