Lake Highlands has a strong sense of being a town all its own. But, as I learned in my former life at People Newspapers, one thing they lack in being entirely self-sufficient is a town square, a place that allows them to do most, if not all, their shopping in the neighborhood.
Neighborhood leaders would tell us that they were most likely to drive over to NorthPark Center, or the Galleria area. So there was a lot of excitement about the new Lake Highlands Town Center when plans were unveiled last year. At that time the first phase was supposed to be done by 2010. Now Prescott is saying it won’t be finished until 2012, because of general economic difficulties.
