Anyone who is willing to help out may contact the Webmaster at neurodistortion@aol.com.

For the first time in over four months, the website has been updated. We've added about a half dozen stores on the Store Directory page, including Foot Locker, Cooper's Watchworks and Rax. A new voting poll and a new photo were also added to the Home page. Finally, we've changed the design for this site, which was supposed to happen at the beginning of January 2007 but it was in our best interest to do it now. The last time that it was changed was at the beginning of this year. The Site Analysis page is also underway for completion, and a new page on the biography of James Rouse is coming soon, so keep checking back for updates.
July 22, 2006
A chat room has been added to the site, which can be accessed by clicking on the Chat Room page link. Chat with other people who also have an interest in Greengate Mall history. The Webmaster's name is greengatemallrevisited.

New photo of the demise of Greengate's Lazarus store now on the Photos page. Also, if anyone has accessed the site within the past few weeks, then an advertisement page was shown because we ran out of bandwidth. While it may be an inconvenience to some, there is no possible way to eliminate the page whenever we run out of bandwidth, unless we buy more of it. So, that's what we've done, and hopefully, that'll eliminate any future problems.
February 28, 2006
More names of tenants has been added to the Store Directory page.

The Changes Through Time page has been recently added to the site.
A visitor of our site has sent us an e-mail, telling us that it appears as if there's a human face on the far right side of the Lazarus building. Now, Gary Nelson took the picture as he was travelling west on Route 30, and it wasn't edited in any way, so if anyone has an explanation to this, we would like to hear from you. Take a look at the pictures below, and if you have any idea what it might be, feel free to write a comment in our guestbook, or you may send Gary an e-mail at neurodistortion@aol.com.

Hope you all are having a great new year! Speaking of that, we've changed the design of this website so that it's more pleasing to the eyes. Also, content such as pictures and a new section will be added eventually, which will be about how the area around the former Greengate Mall has changed throughout the years.
Since pictures are very important to this website, if anyone has any pictures of Greengate Mall, and it doesn't matter whether it's a picture of a store in the mall or just a fountain, just as long as it's related to Greengate, please contact us so that we could add it to the site.
