No kidding. There is four empty stores just directly south of the fair grounds. In one section of the mall, instead of having empty stores shown, they just put up a decorative wall. With the 641 bypass going up, there will be less traffic passing there also. I believe there is a few empty store fronts in the strip mall south of the mall also. It reminds me of what happened in Houston. Six Flags Astroworld was a pretty busy theme park. in 2005, the CEO then demolished the property saying it was more valuable then the theme park. Took out the whole park, and leveled the land. It sat like that for sale years before someone finally bought it.
