The closure of Highland Park's Farmer
Jack is nothing less than an unmitigated disaster for our city.
Hundreds of HP citizens already living on the edge now have to
travel even further in hired transportation to obtain goods no
longer available in the area.
The loss of jobs in such a small population is sure to have a major
financial impact as well.
FJ was the main magnet in the mall. It's disappearance assures that
the profits of the other stores will suffer, possibly leading to
more closures.
I could not help notice the sudden disappearance of Block Buster
Video - were they privy to info that we are only hearing today?)
The coming hardship is sure to herald an increase in police related
incidents.
Any thought as to what to do with the empty space?
How do we prevent a wholesale evacuation of the mall businesses?
Your thoughts?
