And I'm sorry, but I would like to see where you are getting the HH income figure for North Macon. This sounds like more of your unbridled boosterism.

Do honestly think that Macon and Augusta are peers in any way?

Macon and Augusta are peers not not there's nothing that sets them far apart. I have now reason to boost anything.....You just to make id boosterism because you don't want to accept the facts about Macon....all the info i provide is from the developers, media and etc. Not from me.... so take that up up them if you call if boost.

So in other words, you are not only ignoring my questions, you are again turning it into even MORE boosterism.

I don't for one second believe that North Macon has anything even approaching the income you listed.

I don't for one second believe the fact that Macon has the second largest Medical Center in the State.

I DO however believe that in YOUR MIND that Macon and Augusta are basically peers, and should each have the same things.

Unbelievable!

Oh, and the Mall will be closed by this time next year, if not sooner.

[g-man430]

Awwww, we're all just getting along aren't we?

[johnatl]

^LOL! I feel like we fell into the Twlight Zone here.

And is has taken me a couple of days, but it is pretty obvious that yerocal and NewtownMacon ARE ONE AND THE SAME!

Macon Mall is on it's way out - I had heard that it was going downhill, but the loss of these type of stores spells the death of that mall as we have known it.

This is still a very valuable piece of land, and it will be repositioned. Probably into a Super WalMart.

Otherwise, it will just change uses into something else - but stick a fork in it. As a regional mall, it's done.

I still don't beleive it. That is the hospitals own website - of course they are going to "boost" things.

Have you ever seen the Medical Center in Augusta? Grady? Northside? Emory? Piedmont?

I'm not buying it, buddy.

You still haven't answered where the fake income figures come from, either. Or is that just more boosterism?
