I hope it does. It is always hard to see a big box fold up and become vacant. As a side note there is something wrong with our financial banking system when they won't implement some reputable proven financial strategies. Dave Ramsey offers some of the best advise - most of it old-school. Yes, check out his “The Common Sense Fix“. How about making the loans assumable as well? As long as the banks screen the applicants well, they will do well also with less foreclosures on their records. Wow, I don’t know if the economy will support such a big store. I hope it does.

Just look at all the so-called new housing in Atlanta, most middle class can't afford nor want $250,000+ townhouses in areas of the city yet to have really improved.
