Ohhhh, you're talking about a mall. Apparently, it was demolished in 1999. I thought you were talking about a housing project when I first read that.

You gotta love those long-term-keep-it-in-the-family projects. The real fun is when you pass it on to the next family member. We have a similar "rescue" vehicle in our family.. Way back in 1968, I rescued a 1957 Chevrolet Nomad from a life as a chicken house.. I brought it back to life, made it a daily driver.. My son drove it to high school in the '80s.. I passed it on to his son in 2010.. 49 years in the family last month and it's it's still a daily driver..

BTW, from East Texas
