To be fair, it's languishing a bit in preparation for the 71 expansion. Those of you who haven't been there recently, it's f@cking HUGE, and it's anticipation has taken out a ton of businesses [the above mentioned McDs, BW, UMB, as well as the Red Bridge Ford Dealership and the gas station across from it, the School Bus yard [Laidlaw?], The bowling alley and other small businesses along Hillcrest] and has others [such as Truman Corners. If the expansion weren't pending, I'm sure a big box would've filled the Wards vacancy by now] waiting for things to develop before retooling and expanding. I think when that project is done, there's gonna be a TON of development on the corridor.

Also, Marion Lab's failure to follow through on their campus plans fooked them for a bit.
