Ok...I am going to be very materialistic in this post...warning!
I can't help it, but I love, love, love the idea of the Crossroads Mall being razed. It is creepy! 70 percent unoccupied...dark, and disgusting.
The new plan for mixed use space in this area bodes well for midtowners like myself. Take a look at the drawing for yourself. The parking garage would stay...so would my favorite Target. Everything else is going to go!
A city park will be built, around which will sit other retailers. And...most exciting of all: perhaps a Macy's.
Coming from California, Macy's department store was always my first stop in clothes shopping. Coming to Nebraska was quite a shock...no Macys! Even worse, we are tormented with colorful commercials advertising beautiful Macys stores...Where the heck are they?
I say the sooner we say goodbye to the creepy Crossroads, the better. Let's get the C-4 and get going!!
Mrs. Hake, I totally agree with you. I was once a young lad who would cruise the halls of Crossroads. It was very sad to see it in its current state. I only live a couple blocks away from Crossroads and would love to see it come back to its former glory and would love having a 1 minute drive to Crossroads rather than a 10 minute drive to Westroads. If anybody is as excited as you it is this guy!
