One would have thought that when High Point University bought Oak Hollow Mall that the school would have had its ducks in a row and least have quietly resolved outstanding issues with Dillard's and Sears. Even though previous owner CBL ran the mall into the ground, it was HPU's responsibility to get the two department stores to agree to let the university have total ownership of the mall as a condition for CBL no longer running Oak Hollow Mall. Now, Montlieu Avenue residents will be inconvenienced by HPU's failure to buy the whole mall.
When it comes to Montlieu Avenue, I'm glad that a poster on the High Point Enterprise's website brought up the possibility of renaming one of the soon to be disconnected segments after MLK, Jr. because it would put an end to 22+ years of failed attempts--including another one that happened last week--to name any street in honor of the slain civil rights leader. However, the proposal makes too much sense to city leaders who aren't known for "rocking the boat."
