[edit] Ownership/property management gap

As this article reads today, there appears to be a timeline flaw dealing with the ownership and/or management of the subject in question. In the 1950s it's Allied Stores who developed Northgate Mall (and presumably owning it as well), then we fast forward fifty-some years and out of left field it's Simon Properties calling the shots, without any sort of preamble as to how and when Simon came into the picture. – Monoblocks 14:40, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
