The corner of 10th and Market liquor license could be for Yard House. There had been a sign with that name hanging inside the building awhile back (sort of a placeholder I guess for contractors denoting what would eventually go there). That said, Yard House was not announced as a tenant so perhaps that fell through and now Chickie's and Pete's is the replacement? OR they never announced cause they didn't yet have a liquor license or finished lease, and perhaps we'll hear about it as a future tenant as they try to downplay how mostly-empty it is next Thursday. Either way, very positive news in that booze and experiential concepts will be what drives this to be a busy destination at a wider range of hours.
The recent write-up of City Winery is also promising: while the street level portion looks entirely unfinished, sounds like most of the good stuff is in the concourse, and the fact that they designed a mall-facing bar as part of this CW is smart. Will be a place for commuters to grab drinks.

Overall I agree that the exterior execution looks cheap and hideous so far, but the interiors look quite nice. Even just the signage they've hung in the concourse areas at either end of the complex (outside Burlington on the east and outside Cinnabon on the west) are a huge improvement in that they direct people to AMC and City Winery and remind you that there's lots going on inside the compelx.
