So along with all of the housing boom, in 2006 / 2007 a large number of projects were in place - new shopping centers. Keep in mind ALL of this is within two miles of my house.
This shopping center was built and never filled up. Behind me in this picture is another building with Firestone tire center (which seems to be booming), and there's also three other large buildings in this shopping center, mostly empty. One has a subway, there's a credit union, a nail place, and a tax place, but otherwise it's pretty empty.
