I was on the southside today running some errands. I had some spare time so I stopped in Crossroads to see if things had changed for the better. I figured with Dave and Barry's being open for almost four months something positive would happened.

I was shocked with what I saw. More stores and food places have closed up shop and Dave and Barry's looked sparse. It was almost as if the store was using three times the space then what they needed. I think Crossroads was desperate and took the first interested customer in the Wards space. I would bet they sold or are leasing the space for a fraction of its value.

The mall overall was in sad shape. They are leasing to more Mom and Pop stores than national chains. I think its only a matter of time before one of the main anchors closes up shop.
