Muncie Mall in Sheriff Sale; Ridenour Quote from TSP on 3/8/2020. "We would be in dire straits if we lost that revenue," Ridenour said following his speech. "I felt it was important for me as the mayor of Muncie to do what I could to help protect the resources that the assessed value provides."
I fear the Muncie Mall will soon look like the empty, decaying Anderson Mall, Indy's Lafayette Square Mall and others. In reference to your recent excellent article on Marta Moody, whose visionary efforts for a sane approach to developing McGalliard Road were largely ignored, the Muncie Mall will be the largest visible and financial scar on the city's northeast side. Will any lessons be learned here?
The Muncie mall was a so call hang out for so many of us back in the 90’s. Some of my lifelong memories were spent there in my youth and even more as an adult shopping with/ for my children. Christmas was the best for us because we we’re getting our holiday shopping done within one building Safe from the cold weather and taking in all the beautiful decorations that filled the halls for our enjoyment as well as the special feeling that comes during the Christmas season. My kids and grandchildren have visited Santa and the good ole Easter bunny in this beautiful mall. Such good times were had for us all! Im saddened to think that those days could be over for generations to come. So many memories and happiness lost for so many !
Online shopping is killing the in person experience for so many and keeping everyone at home instead of going out and socializing and enjoying being off of devices and engaging in activities with family and friends!!
Paving McGalliard certainly would not hurt
