I feel like with Amazon it'd be really silly to buy a mall.

Uggh...this....today I wanted to get a Roku, but didn't want to wait the 2 days for Amazon shipping (had time to set it up today/tomorrow, so wanted to get it done). Went to Target, they had the old version for full price, so I went to Best Buy. I got the Roku I wanted, then couldn't find a HDMI cable other than $60 Monster ones (seriously, how are they still getting away with that), and the sales guy couldn't answer my question, but tried his darndest to sell me a $100 remote.

Lesson re-learned, I guess.

As sad as north grand is, it's still better than college square in cedar falls.

Maybe the new owner will redevelop the enclosed part into something with a better outlook (small lifestyle center or stand alone stores), pull in another large retail anchor, build a new big-time theater, more restaurants, etc. I can dream anyway. Likely nothing will change though. Wish they had built the 13th st mall, instead there is a bunch of hodge-podge development on south duff.

Selling over priced cables and computer parts worked well for Radio Shack. Oh wait.


I don't know how Best Buy stays in business. Over priced stuff, employees that don't know anything, and **** poor customer service.

It needs to be closed and started over. It would take a lot of money to update it and you would still have a dump.

Most economists I think aren't real bullish on best buys prospects in the next 10 years.
