On a brisk St. Patrickâs Day in 1971, eager shoppers joined local dignitaries, the Science Hill High School band and Miss Johnson City to cut the ribbon on the cityâs new âMiracleâ Mall â a shopping center that promised to be a commercial hub for the region.
A bulletin in the Johnson City Press-Chronicle advertising the grand opening lauded the facilityâs free parking for 1,770 cars and the ability to shop in 72 degree, year-round comfort, which was likely a relief to the shoppers standing outside in the 40-degree chill on that Wednesday 50 years ago.
About 20 stores were opening that day, the ad declared, with another dozen on their way.
Pascal, who led Anne Arundel from 1974 to 1982, died Friday.
His career as a public servant was a long one, and he was well-known for his generosity.
Before becoming county executive, Pascal served in the Maryland Senate from 1971 to 1974.
He later went on to run as the Republican nominee for governor, but lost to Harry Hughes, a Democrat, in 1982.
Pascal served as secretary of appointments to Gov. William Donald Schaefer from 1989 to 1995. He was also on a number of key state task forces and commissions, including a task force on the Charles H. Hickey, Jr. School, a horse racing commission and a wildlife advisory commission.
Tsitsipas is back in Mexico this week to make his debut at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC, an ATP 500 event. The players are not allowed to enjoy the beach and various water activities like they usually can in Acapulco, but Tsitsipas is happy to be able to see a stunning view of the water from his hotel room.
“It is definitely something refreshing and nourishing to have this. I feel much more energised, I feel much better being exposed to the sun and finally getting a tan, which I wasn’t given the opportunity [to do in] the past couple of weeks,” Tsitsipas said. “It’s a very nice setup and a very nice location for tennis.”
