Phoenix readers react to impending demolition of Metrocenter mall

 Phoenix readers react to impending demolition of Metrocenter mall

The iconic Metrocenter mall in Phoenix will soon be rubble and you had a lot to say about it.

Metrocenter’s days are numbered. The iconic local mall, which closed in 2020, is set to be torn down in late August or early September to make way for a $850 million redevelopment project.

According to city of Phoenix officials, the 64.2-acre property will be transformed into a walkable urban village featuring residential units, retail spaces, bars and restaurants.

The mall’s demolition, originally scheduled for summer 2023, was delayed for more than a year due to real estate developer Concord Wilshire Capital having issues with financing.

Todays Thought

A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind. 

-John Neal, author and critic (25 Aug 1793-1876)

Todays Thought

There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts. 

-George Matthew Adams, newspaper columnist (23 Aug 1878-1962)

Read to children. Vote. And never buy anything from a man who's selling fear.
