I have always wondered about that. It's pretty obvious from just looking at a map. Surely someone must have raised an objection when that Partridge Creek location was proposed. Someone else must have offered a countering justification for the proximity. What was that justification? Has putting two malls that close together ever worked anywhere else?

Not that I care. It just stands out as one of those obvious gaffs that never gets questioned. Kind of like exploding air bags in people's faces and calling them safety devices. LOL!
