Went to West Acres last week for the first time in decades............the difference between WA and the Columbia Mall is crazy. There were thousands and thousands of people at WA (granted last friday there was no school)......maybe a few boarded up fronts (possibly being reno'd behind there anyways). The food court was packed...the food options too...subway (they are everywhere)...but cajun grill, asian, mexican, american coffee/bagel thing. Nail and spa options. Seating for cottontops to just sit and people watch. Water feature....fire place.
Parts of WA were/are run down (including the interios of certain stores-jc pennys)....but they got lululemon, sephora, hollister, eddie, ...you name it.
mayor bo HAS to figure out the money laundering scheme at CM....even if it comes down to the city buying the damn thing...something has to change.
btw....fargo is s*76%hole....
