There is a lot of vacancy and it's looking pretty scruffy.
Yeah, he's right - I was talking about Wildwood. There are a few chain restaurants and some hotels that I guess are still doing okay, but both movie theaters are closed (and or demolished) and there is a lot of empty space. Is the Hooters still open? When I was involved in thatr sort of thing, it was the place for car clubs, cruisers, racers etc to meet up.

Brookwood village is doing well. There is a new double decker Target being built and the whole mall has a new upscale look to it and it is being pushed as more cozy indoor alternative to the Summit. The food court needs some work though, as the fast food options in there aren't very good. But the outside options are nice.
