But Americans have been 9/11ed and Hollywooded into thinking a terrorist attack has to be some elaborate super planned out event with planes, suitcase nukes and whatnot. Traffic out there is frequently a nightmare.Īgree with you that the terrorism thing is beyond this thread and I apologize for my thread hijacking. To the extent that it is a victim of its own success. Furthermore, Germantown Parkway, in between Walnut Grove and 64 has more shopping than anywhere in the metro area. Wolfchase is doing as well as can be expected from a middle class oriented mega mall, a market that is struggling nationwide. Many of these folks like outlying areas, and spend little time in Memphis. But there is also a large demographic of folks who seek out that narrative because it confirms their ideas of how Memphis is. I agree that the 'if it bleeds it leads" "things aren't what they used to be" local news is a travesty. This is probably beyond the scope of this thread, but acts of international terrorism require far more planning than getting together a bunch of rowdy teens at the mall. If a bunch of knucklehead teenagers can organize chaos throughout the country via social media, why couldn't the latest bogeyman terrorist group do the same thing? Just goes to show how useless our "intelligence" agencies are. Some people need to respect and appreciate what we have before its all gone. We need to be glad that out city has a great mall that is doing well, especially in this day in age of the dying indoor mall and competition from Amazon and other online retailers. I don't shop at the Wolfchase mall much but these false accusations have to stop. They are not gonna let that happen and I cant see that happening myself. Long time residents will fight to the death to insure the Wolfchase does not become Hickory Hill part 2. Sure people of all races live in the area, but the white demographic remains the majority. White flight is not happening at Wolfchase either.

I cant remember the last time there was a full scale restaurant in that area that's not fast food. It would be as vacant and abandoned as the Trolley Crossing center. If the Wolfchase area was so called ghetto, then there wouldn't be multiple restaurants and other big box stores in the area. Compare the Trolley Crossing shopping center on Perkins/American Way to The Giasco Place across the street. The area around the Mall of Memphis went down with the mall. The same argument goes for the Wolfchase area in general. Even with all the Sears stores closing in the US, the one at Wolfchase would be one of the last to go. From a business/corporate level, not because of a local under performing store. The only way I see Wolfchase loosing an anchor would be Sears if they completely went out of business. I didn't see a "Extreme Wear" or "Regina's Nails" located in spaces that used to be GameStop or Charming Charlie's. Business is just fine at Wolfchase and isn't feeling the decline of American indoor malls. Wolfchase is still going strong and has yet to lose any anchor or national chain that hasn't went out of business. That's only three years younger than the entire lifespan of the Mall of Memphis. Later this year, Wolfchase turns 20 years old. There is a reason why Wolfchase is the main mall of the city. I dont see the need for all the worrying and false accusations. Hell, the entire Wolfchase area is nothing like the Perkins/American Way area is now. It also does not scream multiple store closures, white flight, and mom and pop discount stores. Sure we had a few incidents there, but it does not equal to the crimes we seen at MOM. Wolfchase has a VERY LONG way of even becoming anything close. Let me start by saying that Wolfchase is no where close of being anything ghetto nor anything like the old Mall of Memphis. After the "Mall brawl" after Christmas, I keep hearing local gossip about how the Wolfchase Mall is now ghetto and turning into the Mall of Memphis.

The Mall of Memphis was a two-story mall and the designers placed the semi-circular food court upstairs and around the ice rink. Not only was it built by the main entrance to the mall so that any patron walking through the front doors would be forced to view the happy people gliding in graceful, and sometimes not so graceful, circles, but it had two other unique characteristics. Three major details made the Ice Chalet so incredible.įirst, the developers of the rink must have visited an aquarium prior to drawing their first design sketches because the beauty of the Ice Chalet was that it put its visitors within a ocularly joyous fish bowl. I've been to many cities over the years and the ice rinks I've seen have had no "style" to them. It was the crowning jewel of the entire mall for certain. Fields cookie shop for a peanut butter cookie and a cup of milk.Ī great deal of thought was put into the design of the ice rink. And, a trip to the mall wasn't complete without a stop by the Mrs. I spent my dollars buying collectibles like D&D modules and hobby items from a great store in the east end of the mall called Toys by Roy. I remember "living" at the Ice Chalet and the Gold Mine arcade just across from it.

Because of this, I'm glad to have the opportunity to post a few thoughts here.Īs a teenager who had not yet learned how to drive, the mall was a fantastic, sprawling, city of unique shops and major department stores. As odd as it may sound, the Mall of Memphis was important to me and meant something personal - as much as a mall can I suppose - indeed, I visited the mall so often and over the course of so many years that I feel that I kind of grew up within its retail-laden walls. My first trip to the Mall of Memphis came in the early 1980's - I am not sure of the exact year. The fire in the Fremont-Winema National Forest merged with a smaller nearby blaze Tuesday, and it has repeatedly breached a perimeter of treeless dirt and fire retardant meant to stop its advance.Nathan Rye's Commentary: Posted Octo(user submitted) Monstrous clouds of smoke and ash have risen up to 6 miles into the sky and are visible for more than 100 air miles. It’s been expanding by up to 4 miles (6 kilometers) a day, pushed by gusting winds and critically dry weather that’s turned trees and undergrowth into a tinderbox.įire crews have had to retreat from the flames for 10 consecutive days as fireballs jump from treetop to treetop, trees explode, embers fly ahead of the fire to start new blazes and, in some cases, the inferno’s heat creates its own weather of shifting winds and dry lightning. The Bootleg Fire, now 606 square miles (1,569 square kilometers) in size, has ravaged southern Oregon and is the fourth-largest fire in the state’s modern history. The reports were bittersweet for researchers, who still saw nearly 20 square miles of the preserve burn, but the findings add to a growing body of research about how to make wildfires less explosive by thinning undergrowth and allowing forests to burn periodically - as they naturally would do - instead of snuffing out every flame. “Generally speaking, what firefighters were reporting on the ground is that when the fire came into those areas that had been thinned. The initial assessment suggests that the many years of forest treatments worked, said Pete Caligiuri, Oregon forest program director for The Nature Conservancy, which runs the research at the preserve. As the massive inferno half the size of Rhode Island roared into the Sycan Marsh Preserve, firefighters said the flames jumped less from treetop to treetop and instead returned to the ground, where they were easier to fight, moved more slowly and did less damage to the overall forest. This week, the nation’s biggest burning wildfire provided them with an unexpected, real-world experiment. (AP) - Ecologists in a vast region of wetlands and forest in remote Oregon have spent the past decade thinning young trees and using planned fires to try to restore the thick stands of ponderosa to a less fire-prone state.
