Noted.
But, as per police reports via Feb, yes, the outlet mall has increased local petty crime, and not so petty.
Your right...I wasn't there back in the day, but "times is a changing".
(Just not all for the good) As per your Scottsdale comment, it was a higher end area to start with (~5-10 yrs) next ot most Phoenix burbs.
I look forward to seeing the changes first hand, but mark my word, since Maricopa will be home, you can bet I'll voice what I don't think is good for the town.</div>
hmmmm. if an outlet mall opens theft increases. your right, stores do increase crime, so lets close them all down and only shop outside of maricopa, thus lowering our crime rate.
you can't have theft if there is no where to steal from! utopia!

If you're talking about the north side of MCG Highway at Porter, that's the future home of WalMart. | | | |

Alert | | Not wanting Wal-Mart doesn't mean that you don't want progress or don't want a bigger city. I'd much rather see a Target or some other large-scale retailer that treats their employees fairly and supports the community in a more positive way. I'd also love a Trader Joe's and some other restaurants that aren't fast food, pizza, or bar and grill- and some more 'shopping' stores! | |

Alert | I heard that Peter Piper and Ruby Tuesdays is going into the big empty lot next to Fry's...not sure how reliable my sources are <img src='http://www.85239.com/desktopmodules/ntforums/images/emoticons/smile.gif' height='20' width='20' border='0' title='Smile' align='absmiddle'>
As for Walmart...I haven't heard/seen anything about them dropping out of Maricopa specifically, but I did hear/read that Walmart in general cut down store openings by over 50%. They were supposed to open like 400 stores nationwide and now they're only opening 150. I guess they're trying to improve their reputation by only opening stores in areas that are middle income and higher. I'd rather have a Target instead of Walmart...I have seen firsthand what a Super Walmart can do to a community and I'd personally, rather not have one a mile from my house <img src='http://www.85239.com/desktopmodules/ntforums/images/emoticons/sad.gif' height='20' width='20' border='0' title='Sad' align='absmiddle'> Oh well, if it comes I'm sure I'll shop there. I spend twice as much money at Fry's as I used to spend at Albertson's in Ahwatukee.
I'm really excited about this fresh and easy market everyone is talking about! | | | |

You should do a little more research if you think Target treats its employees significantly better than Wal-Mart.
Personally I like Target better, but Wal-Mart has gotten a bad rap often because of a misunderstanding of economic issues. | |
Liberalism and capitalism address themselves to the cool, well-balanced mind. They proceed by strict logic, eliminating any appeal to the emotions. Socialism, on the contrary, works on the emotions, tries to violate logical considerations by rousing a sense of personal interest and to stifle the voice of reason by awakening primitive instincts.

Anybody know when Mountain Side Fitnees will break ground?</div>
According to the manager from Mountain Side Fitness in Ocotillo they are supposed to break ground in 8/08 or 09/08 and be done by the end of the year. It takes them 3-4 months to build. Per the manager they are going to make their facility look like the one that is in Surprise.

Alert | I want to be the first in line at the Mountain Side Fitness! I love the one at ocotillo, I just wish it wasn't so far away.
Their website is vague, it says Winter 2008. Does that mean this January or next December? | | | |
