Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Lakeforest Mall
Malls have long been considered suburban “third spaces,” areas outside of the home and workplace where people can socialize. As online commerce and shifting shopping habits change the retail market, however, many malls, including Gaithersburg’s Lakeforest, are suffering. After that malls’s recent sale, questions are being raised about whether or not the space will be redeveloped, what redevelopment could look like, how transportation priorities play into any major new projects, and if malls can continue to function as suburban third spaces in the region.
