You are right - this has little to do with capitalism. In US Accounting the concept we should be using is similar to fair value’s “highest and best use”. Even if land is being used for a Bowling alley because of a myriad of reasons (some of which have been mentioned here) but the highest and best use would be a skyscraper or a parking lot you would need to increase or lower the value, respectively when valuingkboish wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 10:48 amDoes it?flyingember wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 9:41 am Capitalism says that as long as owner of the strip of shops stops is making money off it greater than the return on selling it then it should stick around.
I thought Capitalism would suggest that if a parcel could produce more profits that market pressures would transform that parcel into a use that generates the higher profits. Maybe land/property ownership laws subterfuge market pressures or we don't really live in a "free-market" economy?

Maybe only a rumor, then. I never followed up with sourcebryan wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 2:24 pmI was at the plaza FedEx location yesterday and mentioned I'd heard they were moving to Westport. The employee claimed they weren't allowed to discuss it. I pushed further, asking if they couldn't discuss the location and they replied, "Well, there's an empty building where Freebirds used to be..."WinchesterMysteryHouse wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 11:06 am FedEx is moving its Plaza center into a Westport location. Don’t know where or why however it is planned to open in May.
Sounds like FedEx is moving to 554 Westport Road.

Tivoli sadly closing. Imagine another Johnny Kaw's will go in there, a movie theater version that only shows Marvel flicks.

Disappointing, but this feels like a great opportunity for a new independent theater elsewhere, a la Rag Tag in Columbia.TheSmokinPun wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2019 1:46 pm https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... 2105458643

I was told that Jerry has been very sensitive about a new owner keeping the same film selections and mojo at the theater...hopefully, that's the way it'll turn out.

No idea why anyone thinks retail or restaurant would work in that location with no storefront.

Visited the plexpod building at some point and didn't really notice what it was until someone pointed it out. Baffling retail spot

Re: Westport
The old Thriftway near Westport/Main has some construction activity. Is it just prepping to lease or is there a tenant signed up?
