<p class=MsoNormal><strong><b><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>Donovan. . . . You are probably not old enough to
remember, but the "Moscow Mall" was built prior to the Palouse
Empire Mall. The one big anchor was Sears and lots of little outlets that
were later duplicated in the Palouse Mall. There simply wasn't enough
traffic to justify two Jay Jacobs, two Hallmark shops, two of the same shoe shops.
. . . duplication, not choice was the order of the day. And at the same
time we had a lively downtown with really nice family owned shops with quality
merchandise. I remember going "downtown" to outfit my oldest
daughter for back- to- school clothes and supplies. . . .but ten years later,
when my youngest was ready to start school, one mall was turning into a ghost
town, <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Main Street</st1:address></st1:Street> had
more services than retail and all the back-to-school sales were at K-Mart
and the Palouse Mall.</span></font></b></strong><font size=2 face=Verdana><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'><br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face=Verdana><span style='font-family:Verdana'>So
our "area" is set to get a bigger and badder-assed mall than the
one we already can't afford to shop in now. Great timing, guys.
First off, you didn't learn a thing from the past thirty years and, I hate
to break the news to y'all, but we're in a recession. There's absolutely
no hope of Home Depot opening up and I wonder if Lowes isn't having second
thoughts. There will be no <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Circuit</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">City</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> because they've
already thrown in the towel nationwide. Across the country Macy's is
cutting jobs. . . will <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>
be next? </span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face=Verdana><span style='font-family:Verdana'>And once and for
all, Donovan, is doesn't matter if our water "tastes bad" or leaves a
brown ring in the toilet. . . . if it's the only water available to us, then we
need to know that and protect it. I can't believe that this issue hasn't
been studied and revisited with some conclusion finally available to us.
Communities need guidelines and can't we utilize the brainpower within our
community. . . namely the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType>
of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Idaho</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>? </span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face=Verdana><span style='font-family:Verdana'>Also, Donovan,
for what it's worth (not much, I know, because I'm not an expert) I remember
reading somewhere that our snowfall, rain, etc. contributes very
little to recharging the aquifer. So every year we loose huge amounts of
water because we can't store it. Perhaps this is part of the issue that
needs to be addressed for the future. . . or maybe I'm finally a nutty old
lady who can't remember anything.</span></font></b></strong> <br>

face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> much-less-expensive WinCo.<br>
<br>
I would prefer to buy books locally -- and sometimes I do -- but I<br>
usually buy from Amazon. Why? Convenience and affordability.<br>
<br>
I love motion pictures. They are one of the few treats I allow<br>
myself. But do I attend <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> cinemas? Of course not. All <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City><br>
cinemas suck compared to the Village in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Pullman</st1:place></st1:City>.<br>
<br>
Assuming that this mega-mall opens, I will likely shop there, as will<br>
the majority of the citizens of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>, as they presently shop at<br>
Wal-Mart, even if they are among the naysayers.<br>
<br>
If this mega-mall opens, most of its employees will be from <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>. I<br>
count that as a cash-injection for my community (although arguably<br>
offset by the loss of tax revenue). The water will come from our<br>
shared aquifer. I count that as a loss if we do nothing but bitch and<br>
sulk, but as a gain if we shut up and sell them the water.<br>
<br>
The first question is, why is the Palouse Empire<o:p></o:p></span></font></pre><pre><font
size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> Mall so pathetic?<br>
<br>
Any "real" mall has a food court, which our pathetic mall lacks. <br>
Even<br>
the CUB at WSU has a passable food court. Please don't mention the<br>
Sodexo abomination in the UI Commons.<br>
<br>
Any "real" mall has a cineplex, which our pathetic mall lacks.<br>
<br>
At least Eastside Marketplace is honest enough not to include the word<br>
"mall" in its name.<br>
<br>
The second, and last, question is, since the combined populations of<br>
<st1:City w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City> and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Pullman</st1:place></st1:City> don't seem adequate to support the Palouse Empire<br>
Mall or Eastside Marketplace, why should this mega-mall succeed?<br>
