We had a lot of info about this in another thread, including the name. I'm not sure where the thread is, but someone with more time to search can probably find it.

I can't really say much about it, but it's going to be sweet. :)

Why would they tell an IT guy about it and yet it's classified information? Unless you guys are gonna be resonsible for setting up the Apple store in this new mall, I think if you know you can tell us.

Are you really going to call me out like that?

Cause if you want to go around with it, I will be more than happy to fill you on in on why "an IT guy" knows something about it.

I think you should prove it by telling us all. The 2 departments that know the least about stuff is IT and Transportation. That's right, I said transportation.

I think the thread has been derailed on purpose. Let's get it back on track:

HMO and Scorch are in volation of The Flamefans Way by not sharing what they know.

Just for that I issue each of them 12 reps...the penalty: not being able to look at pics of opposing volleyball players on the volleyball board :P .

So what stores are coming in? You don't actually have to SAY the names, just drop hints. Any outlet stores like Fossil or Tommy Hilfiger? Any stores currently in River Ridge that are gonna move?

Dude, I don't even have any inside information and I can guess the stores. That's the thing about retail, creativity is in short supply.

On an unrelated note, do you think the location of this development will encourage more development on the back side of the mountain? I assume 29 South will be an area of growth but the hinterlands over the mountain would also seem ripe for development as well.

I do. I think I've said before on this board that Campbell County is about to boom. This is going to be the tipping point of it, I'm sure. All of the run-down houses and crappy trailer parks around the area of the new mall are already on the way out. People are buying up the land and sitting on it, just waiting to flip it to a retail developer in a couple of years. All of this is just going to trickle out into the county, including the southeastern side of the mountain.

As for the particulars of the mall, no one knows yet. However, it's a high-end retail mall modeled after Short Pump in Richmond and South Point in Durham. As Sly said, it's not hard to figure out the retailers who will show up. Just take a look at those malls. All of the malls billing themselves as "high-end retail" have nearly identical lists of stores, restaurants, etc.

I think it's a little too residential. It'd be tough to buy out all of those folks but I supposed in this day and age of eminant domain abuse, they could just take it. My theory is that the 29 corridor from LU to Rt 24 will be where the development is. It will be Madison Heights part II only with good stuff.

Not here in Virginia...we passed a law that wouldn't allow what happened in Connecticut to happen here. YAY for the conservative states :clapping :cheerleader :cartwheels
