Desert Fashion Plaza, Palm Springs CA

Interesting, yet sad story about the demise of the Desert Fashion Plaza.
The article shares the history of the beginning...to the vacant years...to the attempt to revive.
What I found truly interesting was that I MAGNIN and JOSEPH MAGNIN had BOTH been anchors at one time. I was not familiar with JOSEPH MAGNIN.
The consolidation of I MAGNIN under Bullock's, Macy*s, etc. brought the chain to Palm Desert, and hence started the decline of the Fashion Plaza. This depicts how the consolidation of chains leads to the demise of centers...as the chains fade away...and leave their empty buildings.
