Now it's just sports and restaurants. What small shopping concerns that are there are of little or no interest to those living in the area or around the area. They chose to go "up Nawth" to shop. Far out for many and with horrible congested streets, etc. <br /><br />All anyone seems to want to do with the Mall and other buildings are to make them "Mix medias." <br /><br />Raising the rent on those businesses in the Mall was a move to force them out and of course it worked.<br /><br />Look at the canal. There used to be pleasant gardens for bikers and walkers to enjoy. Presumably it would not be hemmed in by buildings. Now the gardens are gone the buildings loom and recent plans ae to create more condo and restaurants with the hope of makeing it a restauarnt destination.<br /><br />If there's land, green space cover with buildings. Don't let it exist.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-11094701033557148392015-12-09T08:05:46.858-05:002015-12-09T08:05:46.858-05:00The Star is not a newspaper.

What does that ownership mean--other than picking up the tab for everything so the leaseholder can operate its for-profit business on our dime? Gary R.
