My cousin and I are working towards opening a shop in downtown and I can second what Shed said about one of the landlords offering a horrible lease. He wants the renter to take on all his risk as owner. That's why 3 out of his 4 storefronts are empty. Its too bad there's nothing the city can do to put pressure on these absentee/abusive landlords. They are holding back development in downtown, and its only hurting the value of their properties.
