Well, add to the mix of almost vacant retail - Eastdale Shopping Center - Eubank and Candelaria.
A shop that sold professional football attire used to be here, as was a place that sold the fixin's for homebrew, and on the corner was our favorite pool supply place.
There are still a few stores (behind the camera shot) - a Family Dollar, Albertson's Market, around the corner is a Starbuck's, and there's a pet food place, too, I think. And, a dance studio and a nail salon. And, a Whataburger in the middle of the lot.
What's going on? Has the population base changed so much that former bustling centers are no longer able to serve the nearby residents? Or, are the residents going to a WalMart that's a few miles away? Or have the landlords gotten so greedy they've hiked the lease payments and nobody can afford to stick around.
Inquiring minds want to know!
