Well that's sure changed. The Barracks Rd mall used to be a standard- issue mall (and the strip on Rte 29 north of it was a vulgar Roadtown straight out of Learning from Las Vegas). I'm guessing that places like C'ville have changed a lot over the last 30 years, with the polarization in the income distribution.
