<DIV>Yeap,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lefty's is unable to pay the new rental rate of 3x what it was last month, so it is unable to continue to stay, just like the Army recruiting station, the Market Place, Hobbies, and and most of the other "non huge chain stores" in the Palouse Empire Mall. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My suggestion to all of Latah County is not to shop at the PEM because it is anti Moscow. I suggest you buy from local businesses and Wal-Mart. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>PEM won't even allow the bus to stop there anymore. There is nothing PEM is interested in other than making as much money as they can.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is a major reason I support the Hawkins Mall, because it will give a place for local businesses to go and provide competition to the PEM. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best Regards,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan<BR><BR><B><I>Angie Doe <moscowresident@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV>

In fact I am not sure that I have ever eaten there. News of them closing, however, has made me crave a Milkshake and I hear there's are the best.<BR><BR>Angie<BR><BR>P.S.

Maybe that would explain the mall's motivation.<BR>> <BR>> The mall is owned by a corporation out of Spokane, to answer another question posted here.
