Let’s see, a fire in a building being torn down, where no one was hurt and no property (not intended for demolition) was damaged. What’s the issue?!?
Somebody wants some insurance money….never seen a lawyer hired so fast…..
Colonel and Congaree Catfish; exactly what I was thinking, guys. Place is being demolished and catches fire. So tf what?
Is that law firm the one that current state Legislator and wannabe Kershaw County Council Chairman owns? Dude sounds like a career politician in the making. Wants his grubby fingers in all the pies.
Who the fuck uses the term “blow torch”? It’s a cutting torch. Do you know where you buy a “blow torch”… at an antique store. It’s the kind of torch you see in a Charlie Chaplin film.
So now every time a business gets interrupted for two hours it’s time to file a lawsuit? Is Dick Harpootlian involved?
That used to be a nice mall
I remember the old Richland Mall from the early 60’s. Pet-a-rama had all kind of cool animals, including a red squirrel. I had a pet lizard that came from there.
Used to be? Like what, 40 years ago? It was a dying before the year 2000.
I owned a house about two blocks from the mall in ’93, even then, it was already beginning to show signs of financial struggles. Rather than stores that midlands folks would buy from, the “fashion mall” focused on high end stores (Bonwit Teller, Parisians) that no one bought from (Bombay Furniture is the one that sticks in my mind, they lasted about six months). The Department store wars in the ’80s killed Bonwit and then Parisians closed and then Dillards (who took over from Bonwit) and it was very quickly downhill from there, Belk (which started as JB White from the original ’60s era mall) held on until the bitter end, but they were losing money for the last several years. The Barnes and Nobles was the last open store and they’ve moved out to the Target shopping center on Garner’s Ferry
When it was the new “Fashion Mall”, it was a very nice place, but I liked the old 60’s era open mall that preceded it much better. Milk shake from Zesto’s across the street, tin soldiers from the toy store, what more could you ask for!
