The draw was interesting new places/retail that likely wouldn’t pop up elsewhere.

Except the same types of places are all open around Union Market, with the perk of being metro accessible.

Large independent concert venue like the winery? -> Songbyrd

Brewery like Other Half? -> Redbear

Distillery like Republic Restoratives? -> Cotton and Reed

Michelin Star Dining like Gravitas? -> El Cielo & Masseria

Plenty of small retail shops and more food options than you can count.

There’s no real compelling reason for most people to go right past one neighborhood to get to another one that isn’t much different.

I can agree to some extent, for places that needed a larger but more affordable footprint like that gin distillery, fish market, and well the winery. But in terms of more regular sized places, there are other retail location options.
