Right now, you have to drive from shopping center to center. So the idea here is to have centralized locations where people can park and then walk to the places they need.

A man came to our visitor center recently and said he was looking for a place where he could eat and then walk around and browse. And I had to send him to Bellport. But I told him, come back here in a few years!

Mr. Parisi actually sent his architect and several members of his staff. They were the only developers that took part in it.

We are very, very close to being right at the top. What we can?t have happen is to hang our heads and feel sorry for ourselves because tough times don?t last, tough teams do.

We wanted to stop Edwards and we did. Right now, this is just disappointing.

We just feel like it was the right thing to do and we really have no comment right now.
