Renaissance

Destination shopping on Division

by Sally Mitani

posted 11/21/2008

Renaissance has brightened the uninspiring southeast corner of Division and Washington, formerly parking space for TCF Bank. Owner Roger Pothus regrets the loss of foot traffic he had in his former location on Main, but he says he’s now free to concentrate on his main clientele, destination shoppers. They and any new drive-by customers can use a small parking lot off Washington (despite the scary signs about towing, anyone with business in McKinley Towne Centre can park there).
