Remember when it was Continental Cars, and there also used to be Infiniti, Subaru, Saab, etc down on Huntsland? I always thought that Lincoln Center was a shopping center more fitting with something further out towards the suburbs as well. When was it built?

Just a little anecdote... The Mercedes dealership on airport was at one time the "Fox 3 theaters"...I think it closed sometime in the late 80s? The very first movie I ever saw was at the Fox.
Highland Mall continues to be a mess...but I'd hate to seem them tear it down completely. I've got some sentimental attachments to the mall. Of course, times change...
Did they finally close the Dillard's store(s)? I would imagine they would have, given their Domain location opening earlier this year. Someone mentioned that the Men's store may remain open as a Dillard's clearance store of some type.
