What do you mean about a mall in Minnesota replacing a theme park in Tennessee?

Hi Eric. Opryland was torn down and replaced with Opry Mills, which was owned in part by the Simon Corporation, which used to be an investor in Mall of America until around 2006.

I was confused by the Opryland comment also... in other words you probably could've listed about 400 Mall properties there as well. Hmm... very loose link.
Oh and random note since you brought up MTV. There's been some really interesting facts brought up on TRL lately. First off, I've seen playlists from the show a few days before it aired - so I've never claimed it to be what they claim. However, it looks as if recently they've told fans they don't use popular vote. For a video to be top on TRL it needs a combination of factors including:
-Purchases at their store
-Topics on their message boards
-Votes for the video
Interesting huh? No longer do the record labels need to pay for play. Now the fans do.
