Nice new article, TPH! FYI, nothing major, but here's[1] a March 20, 1978 article on the beginning of site preparation. I saved a couple links about this mall a few months ago when I was trying to figure out which mall had the first food court. An [2]article from April 10, 1978 (look to right of where that links to, i can't seem to find the 1st page of the article because that's the only page of that paper available via google news archive, stuck at the beginning of the April 11 paper--this would be a good article to have, no doubt), states that "Green Wood Mall will feature landscaped courts and an innovative 'food court' in which all food speciality shops will surround a common seating area." Food court is in quotes because the term was not in wide use in 1978. (I later determined that the food court at Paramus Park in New Jersey (opened March 1974) is credited as the first.)--Milowent (talk) 17:21, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
