It's a shame that a perfectly good, expensive-to-build edifice is brought down because shoppers got tired of a mall. of course there are dozens more like it. All of this enormous expense isn't going to make for reasonable, economical shopping downtown. Don't people care for more than appearances? We would do much better to value our older buildings and use them as long as they are safe and repairable. The same with other structures, like churches. The shoppers would have stayed downtown if the vendors had provided a continuous source of good-value-for-money goods and services and if parking had been made easier. I would guess that 20% of what we pay goes for the goods themselves and the rest of overhead and someone's profit who has nothing to do with the goods.

Please take very good pictures so we can compare them to the Trade Towers and building #7.
