Saving Red Bird Mall shouldn’t have to save southern Dallas too

Red Bird Mall is the only enclosed shopping center in southern Dallas. From its opening in 1975 through the mid-90s, the mall was a central gathering place for people living south of Interstate-30. Then it faded. Our hosts, deputy editorials editor Rudy Bush and the UNT System’s Paul Corliss, talk with developers Peter Brodsky and Terrence Maiden about bringing the mall back to life as a health and jobs center and the challenges and stereotypes of doing business south.
