Although I know The Mills is technically in NoCo, I think of is as being in St. Charles. It's just a few exits from New Town. I've been there a few times (Gap & Banana Republic outlets) on Saturdays and it has always been busy. I would guess that they get a lot of traffic from St. Charles County.
The mall once known as St. Louis Mills Mall (now St. Louis Outlet Mall) is up for auction. Built for $250M, $18.5M TIF and a $34M TDD, and subsidy in building 370 and other infrastructure to it.

Stl BJ -Former St. Louis Mills mall gets interest at auction
http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/news ... ml?ana=twtBuilt in 2003 at a cost of $250 million, the mall’s original developer, Mills Corp., took out a $90 million loan from Morgan Stanley in 2006. The mall has been delinquent on 42 payments over the loan’s life and has not paid on it at all since June 2014, according to a report from research firm Trepp. LNR, which acquired the mall in 2012, said in an October statement, quoted in a Trepp report, that it “is evaluating disposition alternatives and is in discussion with 3rd party brokerage providers.”

Lots of rumors running around the Blues are looking to get out of the Mills as soon as they can.
^ I don't know how much of a rumor it even is. I believe it's been confirmed that the Blues are looking for a new practice facility plan. Although I suppose if you're saying it's truly an ASAP situation, that would be a new development on top of that.
As I said in another thread, an indoor/outdoor complex at Union Station would be amazing.

Agreed. It's kind of sad to watch "24/7: Road to the Winter Classic" and see the other team's practice facilities.DannyJ wrote:^A Blues practice facility at Union Station would be awesome!

Seems like a logical thing to discuss Bllues training facility downtown as part of Scottrade upgrades.

Move the Blues offices out of the arena to the new Union Station facility.
I think the decision on the former may come a lot sooner than the discussion on the latter. But otherwise, I'd agree.roger wyoming II wrote:Seems like a logical thing to discuss Bllues training facility downtown as part of Scottrade upgrades.
If anybody is actually interested in starting something of a (probably meaningless) citizens initiative to get the Blues to consider such a thing (or at least the city), try emailing Blues owner Tom Stillman.
I tried him at what I guessed was his Blues email as well as a Summit Distribution email that I found. Neither bounced back. That being the case, it probably makes sense to go the Blues route.
The Blues email format is about what you'd expect. First initial and last name at stlblues.com. Email him. Tweet at Mayor Slay. Maybe we could actually get something going.
The small subsidy required to make a building like that happen would be nothing compared to what's being asked of us on the football stadium front. (I'm not saying it has to be either/or, just saying it would be totally reasonably.)

And the Blues announce today that they'll be building their practice facility in Maryland Heights... bleh.
Where are you getting that from? Nothing yet on social media, the Blues website or stltoday.com. The only thing they announced is their 2020 youth hockey initiative.jstriebel wrote:And the Blues announce today that they'll be building their practice facility in Maryland Heights... bleh.

Yeah, it turns out the Blues did NOT specifically announced that.
It was however reported on Twitter by Andy Strickland who covers the Blues. May not be a done deal, yet.
