Back when I used to go over there a lot, DILLIONS & Blockbuster were thriving, and it was quite a busy shopping center most of the time, YORK Hair Salon was there, WaldenBooks was there and a Bar/pub and a restraunt,,,

now - NOT much is there at all !!!

It just cracks me up to hear the way they talk and sling the Rhetoric at some of those meetings with their Grand Illusions and Fantasy Ideas !

I dunno' but with the economy the way it is, and everything as expensive as it is now days and everything going up, I just don't see a whole lotta people CONSTANTLY going Shopping to support these kinda stores for "DECADES" on end !

They built a shopping center over at I-70 east of 291 on the North side back in 2005 and had some weird name electronics retailer come blowing in there trying to sell $5,000 to $12,000 TV's and over priced Electronic gadgets, and it failed within a year, and then sat vacant for a while, now theres a Bed Bath Beyond there for now,,

Again, lotta hoopla and grand illusions just as before, until the bottom falls out, then wheres all that Rhetoric and illusions ??
