Comments[edit]

"2007–present: Renovations and Nordstrom opens": Nothing in this section mentions that a Nordstrom outlet has officially opened at this mall, to-date. Since the concept of a Nordstrom store is still inherently central to this section, and in keeping with the titles of the sections above it, I would suggest omitting "opens" from the header.

I find myself confused by the line, "... these plans allowed both Macy's current anchor of 202,000 square feet (19,000 m²) to combine into one larger, 286,000 square feet (27,000 m²) location." Where does the "both" tie in? If Macy's had 202,000 square feet before the combination, where did the other 84,000 square feet come in? Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed!

Done I have reworded the line accordingly. Carbrera (talk) 15:50, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Wilhelmina Will: I have made all my changes, thank you. Carbrera (talk) 15:52, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
