Future of Lakeside Mall

[iheartthed]

So the demise of this area is so far into the future, that other areas will have failed long before this one does.

I doubt that area could withstand a prolonged period of $5+/gallon gasoline.

I doubt that area could withstand a prolonged period of $5+/gallon gasoline.

At least one statement I read suggests that the area would be fine because the entire M-59/Hall Road corridor is homogenous, everyone hates Detroit, refuses to go to Detroit, refuses to work in Detroit, and everyone is exceedingly wealthy.

EDIT: ...and apparently that post, and Gistok's terrific reply, is gone.
