    1. Those escalators used a cutting-edge new tech when they were built. Apparently they turned out to have huge problems but are too expensive to switch out.

  1. After business hours, downtown has little draw (especially post-Covid) without tourism. Downtown is just a babysitter for teens with nowhere else to go otherwise. Besides that, the entire mall concept is being called into question. The best part of the mall is parking for downtown (on non-event nights).

  2. Simon wasn’t really managing it for the last three years if you want to know the truth. Hope this brings much needed improvements and security.

  3. The city should ask for RFPs and then lease the space for free to those in the most attractive proposal.

    Circle Centre Mall is a loss-leader. It’s time to take a loss and put the most attractive products possible on this end cap.

    1. The revitalized Union Station and the Warehouse District as an entertainment venue ware killed off when Simon was permitted to add to the mall an additional floor targeting entertainment tenants over the objection of the historic preservation committee which had architectural review authority with respect to facades of historic buildings. The net result was a double whammy: slow death of the Wholesale District and complete failure of the fourth floor addition which no longer has any retail tenants.
