Andy. . . . I, for one, don't think you've missed a thing. You've lived here for your entire life, and you have a pretty good grasp on the situation. We share some of the same concerns and have similar questions because we've been observing the same things over a period of time. <BR>

It seems to me that the Palouse Empire Mall <BR>> (really a food court with a mall rather than a mall with a food court) has <BR>> not been full for over 15 years. How will a new mall fill its empty shops <BR>> when the current mall can't? Also, the rodeo mall on N. Main only has two <BR>> tennants and 3-4 empty shops. Seems to me we can't fill the open spaces we <BR>> currently have.
