This one would be a cooperative effort between the developers and cities of Fargo/Moorhead... Moorhead Center Mall has so much potential, it's not even funny. First, transfer ownership of the mall to a serious developer. The existing owners aren't very serious about building up the mall. Second, tear the entire structure down and make it a multilevel complex with underground parking. I envision a 4-5 storey shopping complex that could be setup so the middle of the walk area is actually outdoors (or at least open air). It could have panels that can be added on the roof for winter seasons... Even in winter seasons, make it still feel like you are shopping outdoors by adding actual trees and other vegetation. A water feature wouldn't hurt either. Fill this mall with stores not found in West Acres Mall (I could easily list over 100 hundred potential stores). Third, get rid of the City Hall and build an actual Moorhead City Mall on another city block somewhere in downtown Moorhead to spur more growth as well. Kind of something similar to what's in the video, but not as tacky as Southern California. Finally have it connected to downtown Fargo as well, via the Skyway system (SkyBridge <- I'm liking this)
