Malls don't have the social attraction they once had. It is no longer

Saw a story the other day about empty "Ghost Malls" and the commercial
real estate market. Seems some may be turned into office spaces or
large warehouses. Tough market.


The school board took over the Metro mall (328,000 sq/ft) and filled
it with bureaucrats on our dime. Social Security took over the Rafters
mall.


Lock them bureaucrats into a 50 year Lease :-)
