I lived in New Jersey many years. The Menlo Park Mall is great and better than the Danbury Mall. So give this guy a chance to help our dying and decaying. Mall.
I find this interesting [who holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from Hofstra University.] Usually you find a manager with a MBA or some other business degree, don't you? Looks like a long 40 mile commute for him. I wish him luck in turning the mall around. He may want to take a trip to Danbury, CT and see the mall there. and pay special attention to the Macy's there. The town council may also want to take notice of it also when it comes to suggestions to expand Macy's. Any modernization of the Jefferson Valley mall should include an expansion of Macy's. We need at least ONE quality high end store in the area.
Good luck Ken! Save our Mall! Get the movie theatre back! Fill up the food court! We don't want to go to Danbury Mall if we don't have to!
