The center of the city used to be a thriving vital shopping area centrally locatyed. 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.

All anyone seems to want to do with the Mall and other buildings are to make them "Mix medias."

Raising the rent on those businesses in the Mall was a move to force them out and of course it worked.

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.

If there's land, green space cover with buildings. Don't let it exist.

The Star is not a newspaper. The Star is a business that uses a newspaper to advance its business interests.

Think of the Star in the same regard you would hold the Cummins corporate newsletter.

I think The Star is an owner of the mall

On paper, that's true, anon. 8:06. Technically, the taxpayers own Lucas Oil Stadium, Banker's Life Fieldhouse and Victory Field. 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?

I thought Simon manages the mall on behalf of the city (majority owner) and a group of minority owners comprised of large corporate entites (of which Simon is one)? Has the original ownwérship structure changed?

So in other words, the taxpayers are funding the Gannet/Star lease. Only in In-duh-nap-luss. LOL

I bet a new soccer stadium would bring droves of shoppers to Circle Centre. Maybe we can try that.
