Tourists shared sidewalks with European models and fashion titans. Nightlife was so hot that Mickey Rourke, Prince and Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood opened their own clubs. But not anymore. The models and fashion industry are gone, ousted by rising rents and stricter permitting. Many clubs have fled across the bridge. Only the best-known brands like Nike and Apple can afford shops on Lincoln Road. Ocean Drive has become a rowdy, tourists -only playground with limited appeal for locals. "Washington Avenue is like the hole in the doughnut," said Blue Ribbon Panel member Lyle Stern, president of Koniver Stern Group consulting firm. "We have lots of tourists and residents straddling both sides of the avenue. The difficulty is populating it with businesses. Tourists enjoy Washington Avenue it's reminiscent of the Village in New York City 30 years ago, with all the head shops and boutiques and novelty stores but it still needs to be cleaned up."
