Put a fork in the Montgomery Mall. According to a story in this morning's Montgomery Advertiser, the last entity operating in the mall---Trentholm Tech's Culinary College---is moving out. The school will go to The Regions Bank downtown. They say they couldn't get the Montgomery Mall owner to make repairs, and conditons were getting worse and worse, including ceiling leaks.
Seems to me, when you have only one tenant and a 98% vacancy rate, y'oughta keep that one tenant happy, no?
No. It's probably cheaper for the owner to run out that last tenant. Then the heat can be turned off and security reduced.
ReplyDeleteI hope the city does something about this property--perhaps condemn it, or use it for a new jail.
