The Beginning of the End for Regency and Arlington.

Let Khan buy it and turn it into the Jags indoor training facility!

That is the concerning thing for Regency. At first the dieoff was just limited to the mall. But now all of the outlying areas are losing anchors as well. When was the last major new development in the area before Best Bet?

Build out of Kendalltown just north of Regency. (WalMart, Bealls, Lowes)
Jacksonville Chrysler Dodge of Regency in the old Toys R Us location

The owner of the strip mall on Swelo (TigerDirect, Sports Authority) across from Regency just completed a refit of the property. They did lose Office Depot a few months ago, but they just wanted less square footage and landed around the corner next to Olive Garden.

Fifth Third finished the buildout of a new branch where the Houlihans used to be.

Chalk another declining area up to sprawl, or as I call it, "Operation Rolling Ghetto".

Regency has also been hurt over the past few years, and especially the past few months, by the closing of the Mathews Bridge

I am actually okay with this, IF it means we are one step closer to this and not some urban wasteland.

That vision plan is all dreams. It's hard to make something like that remotely realistic when you're drawing over other people's properties.

The Dillard's Clearance in Regency had closed not that long ago.

More bad news. The Sports Authority across the street from Regency is also closing:

Don't get me wrong, it's always sad when a store like that closes; Although I dunno what it is about Sports Authority, they just don't do it for me; When I go in there, and can't seem to find anything worthwhile. IMO there are far better ascending options out there, like Dick's and Academy.

The Dillard's Clearance in Regency had closed not that long ago. 

Dillard's is still open at Regency.

^^^I was talking about the Dillard's Clearance.

[tufsu1]

^ same thing dude

A DILLARD'S CLEARANCE CENTER isn't the same as a DILLARD'S. I tell yall what, go to that location during 'operating hours' and tell me if it's open. I went there not all that long ago, and it had a covering wall in front of the main outdoor entrance; I went their prior to that when it was open, and noticed a dramatic decrease in inventory than normal. I'm like ninety percent sure that it's closed; I actually go to Regency time to time unlike many people nowadays.

^^^ Right on. I'll be very surprised if they hang around too much longer. It feels like a "Going out of business" sale atmosphere with emptied shelves etc.

[thelakelander]

Yeah, it reminds me of a run down TJ Maxx or Ross.
