We had the same thing in New Jersey. Garden State Park was demolished and "developed" into another shopping mall complex...just what Cherry Hill, NJ needed.
Those of you who have been to the South Jersey area know we have no shortage of shopping malls, many of which are empty and not rented. Not that this fact would stop the building of new ones, for some odd reason.
Anyway, I feel for those who mourn Bay Meadows, as we feel that way with GSP gone and ACRC teetering on the edge. While Momouth and Meadowlands are in NJ, they are much further from the Philadelphia/South Jersey area.
