49. Anyone home?

Bit of a stretch! … no one home yet —- but soon!  This is the new mall being built at University Town Center and is due to open in October 2014. Costing a projected $315 million it is a 2 level enclosed mall with Saks, Dillards and Macys being 3 of the anchor stores – plus another 100 specialty stores and restaurants (approximately half of which are anticipated to be new to the market).  Construction will create 1,000 jobs in addition to the 2,000 long-term jobs expected upon completion. I was living in Minneapolis when the Mall of America opened there in 1992 – I went on Day 2 – WHAT an experience – I see it is still the second largest in the States – we lived 20 minutes away and I just LOVED going there.
