City Manager Blog
City Manager Rick Cole gives immediate insight into breaking news. His latest post analyzes the decision by Macerich to locate a Target at the Pacific View Mall:
"Another Target – at the Mall? Have they lost their minds? I've been a little surprised at the visceral reaction as news spreads that Macerich, the company that owns the mall, has leased the old Robinson's-May store to Target, which already has a store less than a mile away."
