By News Tribune staff
Published: Saturday, July 18, 2009 6:04 AM CDT
By the end of this month, or the beginning of next month, Wildwood Crossing Shopping Center should be completely full of stores and some of that will come at the expense of Capital Mall.

According to the company's Web site, Tuesday Morning should be open within the next week or two.

The owners of Wildwood, Rubenstein Real Estate of Shawnee Mission, KS, have confirmed two other national retailers will be coming to round out the remaining space in the center.

I very rarely shop out of town as I think that it is important to keep my money in JC. If the mall were to close I would be forced to do some of my shopping out of town and that would be a shame. "

" This is kind of off topic but I was so excited and wanted to share... Every 3rd week my husband runs to Hy-Vee for me and gets diapers, Miller Lite (for him) and Coca Cola for me. This helps because it is heavy to carry. Anyway... this week on his lunch (works for the Guard) he ran over to the new Wal Mart supercenter and on those 3 items we saved $6.78 CHEAPER than what I normally pay. I was blown away. From now on, I will drive across town to the new WalMart for that savings!!!
Sorry, just wanted to share my excitement. "

Unfortunately, Bath and Body will be the last to move from the mall, even though they would have loved to be at the Wildwood strip mall. "

" Bus Driver, what is ironic is the fact that state workers are paid so low wages is exactly why your wages are also so low. The state is the largest employer in central missouri, and whatever wage the state pays is the level of competition that the other jobs pay. If state workers were to recieve higher salaries, yours would go up to stay competitive. Also, higher paid state workers would also pay more sales and property taxes, and spend more money in our area, thus increasing the level of commerce and the standard of living for all in central missouri. Your insistance to hold state worker wages down is also holding your own wages down and your standard.of.living. "

The only thing missing here in Jeff is the nudy mag shops and the strip clubs.

Who actually does business with a short term loan place?? I've never used one, but surely the interest is horrible? In the "El Jimador" plaza alone there is, what, 5? 6? of these loan places? Do each get enough business that the competition doesn't matter? "

Kind of a hypocrite statement, don't you think? You just get done saying you are poor but not dirty, and then finish by somehow lumping all state workers into the "snobbish" category?

What do state workers even have to do with your rant? Not to mention we are the lowest (or almost the lowest) paid state workers in the US, so if anyone is poor/dirty, it's probably us state workers, lol. "
