Why Eastland Mall Must Go »
A few months back, the Charlotte Observer ran a story about how Eastland Mall must go. Unfortunately, the Observer has this policy where all of their articles older than a week or so are no longer available online (are you telling me if the New York Times can no longer charge, the Observer can?). You can rarely even find a link to them on their own site, and when you can, they want to you to pay to get to them. It's not that I have a problem with that or anything, it's just that they make it so difficult to do - so I can't link to it. That makes it a real pain.
Anyway, I finally went to read the article, and naturally couldn't read it. So I had to dig around my own archives - which is to say, a pile of newspapers that I have sitting next to my desk - and found the article in order to give it a good read. It's actually not bad. Being that I live only a couple of miles from Eastland Mall, it would probably be good for property values. I don't know that it will happen anytime soon, but a man can dream, right?
