Re: LOL
La Grange's love affair with TIFs did far more than the Calendar Court Mall ever did to revitalize downtown La Grange. Now its getting full of poseurs and wannabes and nauseatingly cute shops. At least they spend money and LG collects their sales taxes, although a lot of long-time retail businesses got squeezed out due to rents tripling, which is rather ironic.
South of the Mason-Dixon line (47th St.) we see none of that TIF love. Probably just as well; as a commercial property owner I don't think I want the headaches.

I remember LaGrange's own "mall" quite well.
Much better now that it's opened back up, but I do remember when it was cranking as well. I spent too much of my early youth there... |
