Newpark has been sliding to a jumbo dollar store for years. I think there are several reasons for its downward slide. Malls across the country are failing in light of online shopping and big box retailers like Walmart, Target and Costco. The shopping mall culture has bitten the dust. Add to that the changing demographics, many new citizens just don’t go to the mall. Even teenagers are avoiding the place. I remember some 30 years ago when me and my boys would go there and look for girls. (And cruising Fremont Blvd, but that’s another story) Stoneridge and West Valley are still alive and kicking, but those areas have folks with more disposeable income. Tear the place down.

#3 – The best counter to Charlie’s anecdotal B.S. is to continue to state and re-state the facts surrounding the mis-management of our community.

It is pretty clear that the political power base (which is, by in large, responsible for the conditions you see throughout your community – some of which has been very successful, but, much of which has been hugely wasteful) wants this kind of open and unrestrained dialogue to just go away.

Silence inures to the benefit of the status quo.

Is it impossible to have a intelligent conversation here, Michelle er Micheal or do we have to read your sick rants.
Pacific Commons is probably the reason for the demise of Newpark and some say it was the local politicians doing. Why do you think Newpark is going downhill, fast with all major stores stampeding to get out of Newpark?

#1…Yo Bruce “Newpark IS becoming a ghost town” and why is that Bruce? We can all agree there is no there in Fremont and Bacon does not mean business.I would suggest we try and get a professional sports franchise to locate to Fremont, build a high tech, state of the art, green, cash cow right here in what is rapidly becoming Baconville and that brothers and sisters is worst than Potterville. Vinnie and the demonize a developer crowd (that you Bruce are a part of) just don’t get it. Enough of your crowds sentimental hogwash! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzraYNG8ZH4
