Springfield Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 4 minutes ago, ixcuincle said: I read today that Victorias Secret as well as other retailers were shutting stores down. It sad what happening to retail these days. I went to Landmark Mall a few years ago. It was so empty. There was nothing there but a Sears keeping that place open. I won't forget that day as I went in, grabbed a TV, paid for it, and wheeled that thing out in a cart through hordes of abandoned stores. Very sad. @Springfieldtalked about the old Springfield Mall which was going to end up like that but got revitalized. I'm curious how many malls start looking decrepit with all them retail stores collapsing. Yeah Springfield Mall got revitalized but it’s origins plan got destroyed with the housing crash. It was supposed to be open air, like a town center, but with apartments up high. It’s redesigned, and nicer, but the original redesign was much more ambitious. i think they should turn Landmark Mall into homeless housing.

At my local mall, its the Sears that closed while everything else seems to be hanging in fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I work across the street from what used to be a great mall. Close to home, I remember when I couldn't get a parking spot in the summer. Christmas was a nightmare. They closed Kohl's (where I LOVED to shop), and Sears closed about a year ago. I hate it too. I like to really see what I'm buying.

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I’d have to find the post but he was gone for a while and when he came back, said he needed a break from the board. Not too long after he posted something about school shootings being the result of not having prayer in schools and a couple of us refuted that... I wasn’t harsh. Never saw him on here again though.

I've seen him too many times to count, but he ****ed up horribly once, literally bouncing the guitars he failed to catch off the stage, just looking pissed the whole show. Lita Ford opened.

Satch is certainly a good deal more varied and tasteful, but I understand the sentiment. Try some Andy Timmons. Dude is the smoothest thing out there right now, but still a stone cold killer.
