Reliability... for my 40th birthday, I bought a sweet Land Rover Discovery HSE Luxury. It was very luxurious, sitting in my garage, on its way back and forth to the dealership for warranty repair after warranty repair before being shot at less than 60k miles. So now at 43, I'm still driving my 19-year-old Honda Accord EX-L V6 w/navi I custom ordered with a 6-speed manual when I was 24 years old. Very advanced for its time. It needs some work now, but I'd rather put $10k in a proven vehicle, that I LOVE, than buy some new garbage that could be rendered obsolete by SOFTWARE UPDATES! I hope you had a good Thanksgiving!

How do they get away with leaving these derelict properties to decay forever ? The blighted properties should be seized and sold, and the proceeds used to clean up the sites.
@charlestonpinballarcade2 күн бұрын
@@rschier1 as long as the property taxes are paid, there’s not a lot cities can do until the structure becomes a nuisance and people have gotten hurt or victims of crimes or assault. The problem is also then the liability to do something falls on the taxpayers. Most of these South Carolina towns do not have the tax base to get involved in demolishing and securing properties like this. There’s properties unfortunately all over the country like this. Thanks for watching!!! 🎉🎉🎉
@rschier12 күн бұрын
@@charlestonpinballarcade There is such a thing as blight ordinances. if structures such as those featured here are not a nuisance, I'm not sure what would be. In many locations, those who fail to maintain certain standards can be assessed daily fines. Perhaps it is time to strengthen the laws, as the country is rapidly turning into a trash heap; laws that make cleanups the responsibiliy of the property owner(s). The current state of affairs is nothing short of pathetic.

Glad to see an update from this mall. Macy's decision to stay or close will make or break the remaining mall tenants. I am surprised that Jimmy Jazz updated their store to the snipes brand. It seems like a waste of money for them to upgrade a store in this mall, especially with one anchor completely walled off from the mall. Is the product selection at Macy's dwindling or doing good. There is a store on their first 55 list here that is falling apart. The store has a decent stock, but the flooring is cracking and taped in place all around the store. Keep in mind that this Macy's store reopened in 2009 from hurricane ike damages.

@charlestonpinballarcade one last thing. we were one of the first dealers in the country to have the monster i.b.m. accounting system in 1969. watching cost. my dad would cut the print out paper into small squares & fasten them together & pass them out as note pads. he figured he could save $600.-$800. a year only to see lou steal that also. my mom & dad & my cousin Sal & brother Joe had a c.p. & dodge stores. they were great dealers. they made mom & dad millions only to have it go into lous black hole. dad put lou in a 60 year old Ford store in 1969. almost no overhead, established customer base, parts, service on dad's signature. it took lou less than 2 years to tank it. plus a unpaid n.y.s. tax liability of $40,000. that grew to over 1 million by the time dad found out 20 years later. the end.
