Re: Northpark Center

It’s not a nail in the coffin, it’s just a weird use of space and definitely a sign that NorthPark’s feeling the same struggles as other retail centers in the area, or in the country for that matter. It’s a pretty widespread thing and even if they’re doing the best they can, they can’t help that the...
