Anchor successions, with the gaps named

AUDIT ROW #278 · EVERY ANCHOR THAT CHANGED HANDS OR NAME, AS FAR AS THE RECORD RUNS

The corridor's anchor succession is a grocery succession, and it runs through the food leg's record: the town's markets in sequence on their grounds, the Walkerton Market last and closed, its trade passing to the corridor. That succession stands in Food & Drink and in the food addendum at directory strength and is pointed to here rather than re-dug; what the malls leg adds is the frame — in a town whose only centre is a strip cluster, the anchor history is the food history, and the two legs read as one record. The gaps are named with it: no department-store anchor ever seated here (the enclosed-mall negative's corollary), and the pre-war anchor line — the downtown general stores — belongs to the business leg's succession record, whose settler for the full run is the same directory series named in the fashion addendum. The item closes mixed, at exactly that strength.

Principal sources: Food & Drink and Businesses (the grocery and downtown successions), pointed to; settler named — consecutive directory runs, for the full anchor line.
