Me and my friends used to go there in the 90s to find chicks and hang out. I remember getting lost when I was a kid not knowing how to get back to the exit by Musicland from the opposite side by KB-Toys, Babbeges and Spaceport.

Was Gadzooks still open? I once bought a spandex zipper shirt there.

Fwiw, it would be somewhat cool to go there, walk around, and reminence a little.

Id imagine the overhead is pretty low for the owners. So as long as the income from the existing tenants covers it with enough left over = profit???

I worked in a little shop there in college in 95 and the rent was $10K a month. I bet it's nowhere close to that now.

We have a mall like that in Jackson called Metrocenter and another one headed down that same trajectory.

It was great to hang out there in the early 80's as a kid.

Merry Go Round still open?


This store holds a special place in my heart. I went in one time and tried on a pair of jeans. As I was going in, I saw a girl I sorta knew. Had talked to her a couple of times, but not a whole lot. She was, and still is, drop dead gorgeous. She came up to the door of the dressing room and said she wanted to see how the jeans looked on me.
Me being young and dumb came out rather than letting her in. Right there in front of the dressing room she grabbed the waist as if to check and see how they fit and before I knew it, she had her hand in my pants and grabbed my dick.
As my jaw hit the floor, she said she liked the jeans and I should buy them as she winked and walked away. I was too in shock to do anything.

Now the OT knows the story of the first time a girl touched my pecker.

Commercial properties like this don't have only fixed costs.

I'm pretty sure the original family who built it still owns the property. So if utilities and taxes are pretty much the same year to year, i would assume it is a flat cost.

It was sold in march of 2013 for 6 million to a Las Vegas development company that specializes in re-purposing dead shopping malls.

They might as well get it over with and do what they did with Bon Marche. Enclosed malls are obsolete. There's one in Austin that they tuned into a community college campus, maybe they can do that here?
