Bush to have university centers at the state's universities turned into shopping malls went through. The campus bookstore was going to become a GAP store, for crying out loud... Classroom space in the university center was to be taken away and offices upstairs were going to become stockrooms.<br /><br />Luckily, they made it out only with a crappy Chili's Express replacing the campus pub, and a very weird long hallway to nothing being tacked onto the back of the building that would have once become the mall corridor.VXOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882160395412761629noreply@blogger.com
