    How was it possible that the owners of Northridge could not figure out how to “market” it.

    Over 200 million dollars all gone because they did not realize that they had to confront the perceived personal safety issues of the community Are we seeing some of the same with the Grand Ave Mall renamed ????

    Now the New Music Hall is part of the mix and yet how are those who attend assured that they are safe? The bus from is it Mayfair or Brookfield

    80% of the kids in MPS who are suspended are kids of color and yet even though now 50 years after they stopped “spanking” kids at school we still continue to traumatize them yet again for the trauma that they have already realized and the reason why they are committing Suspensions “events”

    WOW to sacrifice over 200 million at Northridge and how much downtown and still not see the handwriting on the wall. How BLIND can those who control NOT SEE that kid who are traumatized need CARE not exclusion??? Call me for the rest of the story if you care. Tom Spellman 414 403 1341

    Thank you for sharing these photos. They say so much.
    I think they would make quite an art exhibition, really.

    Years ago, I worked to decorate Xmas trees with a display company.
    Even then, the lustre was coming off this kind of shopping.

    Hope the City takes the appropriate amount of time to determine this land’s future.

    The other day, when I was a Menards, they were replacing hundreds of feet of sewers on the road that surrounds the parking lot, and other pipes of all sorts. First they have to disconnect it, but whatever the next plans are that unfold, it will probably have to all be done over again to tie it back in to the city sewers. Imagine the infrastructure that needed to be built in the late 1960’s as the Kohl family and Taubman planed for this development.
