Award for Owners of Landing Mall
The Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce welcomed its new president for 2009, Betsy Reed Schultz.
The Chamber also presented an award to the owners of Landing Mall. Let’s see now — purchase a mall that’s already been a fixture for 25 years, and then jack the rents way way up (during an economic downturn) so that some of the existing businesses are forced to either close or relocate. OK, I guess that’s a good thing.
Maybe it’s a brilliant long-term business strategy and we just haven’t seen the positive results yet.

I see it as stupid and greedy business monkeys that thought the grand time was going to keep rolling along.
Whatever, I've made myself as secure as I can, that is all the power I have over things.
But I'm just a simple country boy that can be happy with a piece of chocolate cake, or a cheap camping trip.
I wonder if the Red Lion still has that half price appetizer special on Sundays in the lounge.
I haven't been in there for about three years but that was a great deal.
Bwa ha ha ha ha!
Hello everyone,
I thought I'd take a moment out of my insidiously busy schedule to tell you how my evil plans for Port Angeles are going. Perfectly! If I'd known it would be this easy to run a city into the ground, I'd have started long before this!
First of all, I've purchased the K-Ply mill site and, with the help of my friends at Union Carbide, will the re-fitting the site for pesticide production. I've lubricated the bank accounts of several local, state and national politicians to lift those annoying regulations and my new pesticide plant will producing DDT and Malathione soon!
Thanks to my insidiously ingenious "Save The Fool" campaign, the populace is confused about the issue and, with the help of my dupes and minions on the City Council, my plans to turn the pool into a toxic waste storage site are nearly complete! Won't those people be surprised when they learn who the real Fool is!
In order to crush downtown I've been using my powers of Evil Mind Control to force certain business proprietors and employees to park their cars all day in the few precious parking spaces available. Bwa ha ha ha ha! Potential customers are driving around and around searching in vain for a parking space and giving up in disgust! Just as I planned it, and soon all of downtown will be vacant and I can buy up all the properties for next to nothing!
Insidiously,
Doctor Nosferatu, Evil Genius

Why do I find that statement to be so frigging funny?
Rents at the mall are what the market bears. We will fill it up with boutiques this year.
We wealthy folk will soon own this whole town. We are planning major development for this area, so if you country bumpkins don't like it, leave.
so if you country bumpkins don't like it, leave.
I havent shopped downtown for years so technically I already have.
Comrade Bob can have his cake without my interference.
"We wealthy folk will soon own this whole town. We are planning major development for this area, so if you country bumpkins don't like it, leave."
The way things are going, we might have to. These crappy little jobs don't pay for food and housing like they used to. I'd like to stick close to family, but I know I'd do way better in Seattle.
I mean, I'd do better in Seattle once the recession cycles through. Yikes.
so, any of you go down and volunteer to scoop the sand out of the Landing Mall so that their precious floor wasn't scratched?
Geez....do a publicity stunt to get people into your mall, and then have the audacity to get the Rotary to beg for volunteers to clean it up.
And, this is front page news in PA. Damn, we're more po-dunk than I thought.
