New Stores and Restaurants Are Coming to Sunland Park Mall

If you've been to the Sunland Park Mall recently, it looks vastly different than it did 6 months ago, one year ago, and especially a couple years ago. We saw malls take a big hit because of online shopping, and then it COVID really did a number on them. However, maybe, just maybe, we're starting to see a resurgence because of COVID-19.

Did being locked in out houses cause a longing to get out of the house and go places we hadn't been going to pre-pandemic? You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone, I guess.

Can we get a Gamestop back? Shopping online is great and all, but I like going to the store so I can buy a game on impulse I'll play for a few days and then put back on the shelf for months. But seriously, one of the best parts of going to a Gamestop was not only getting the game you wanted, but checking out the discount bin for some strange game that would be a blast to play simply because it was so cheap.
