At the first general meeting for the new Sparks Street Mall merchants’ management board, merchants complained about old problems, but most hailed the new board as a refreshing change in leadership.
“The thing I’ve noticed about this meeting is that there is a lot of flexibility,” commented Jack Cook, owner of Canada’s Four Corners. “Over the years, I’ve attended many mall meetings and the opinions (of the board) have always been very fixed. But this board is encouraging me that something good will happen.”
