I almost made pretty much the same point earlier. Just looking at the images Doug presented (excellent though they are, technically) doesn't tell the whole story. It's hard to tell whether you're looking at the new mall before opening, or at the old, almost abandoned mall. There's no real sign of decay; the walkways and walls look almost brand new. Initially I thought I'd wait until Doug showed a few more images before commenting, to see if we got a better perspective on the whole story. > Anyway, local shops are not always what they're cracked up to be... > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4UuvWxrZtw That, too, came to my mind :-) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
