Today, a new taxpayer-supported (TIF's) Wal-Mart opened on the site of the old Blue Ridge Mall at 43rd Street & Sterling.
By the time this is posted (6 pm), Wal-Mart closes their store in the 9000 block of Hillcrest, caddy-corner from the ghost-like Bannister Mall.
That stretch of Hillcrest from 87th Street to Bannister now resembles the aftermath of a neutron bomb explosion.
I propose renaming that stretch of Hillcrest after Chuck Eddy, the KC councilman who would want to be mayor.
That way people would be constantly reminded of just how effective Eddy was in keeping what once was one of the city's most bustling retail areas from becoming a ghost town.
