Ifpr. Ward’s gamble pays jff.i'he will have succeeded in|3oing what a host of |)thers have failed to do - put a shopping center on tke'land bounded by Cleve land Avenue, East 5th Sl^et and Claremont Ave nue. the key to his success, said observers, will be whe ther he can convince a [major supermarket and oth- er|tores to commit them selves to placing stores there. This tract of land near the ^ston Mutual Insurance Jnpany, has been desig- [nated for a shopping center by'the Winston-Salem Re- elopment Commission Since 1963. Numerous [other projects have failed to ment commission. John Duncan, executive director of Midwest Piedmont Area Business Development Or ganization provided tech nical assistance to the pro ject which also failed to appear. Duncan cited the lack of sufficient financing and the failure of the tenants to acquire leases as the rea sons for this project’s fail ure. James K. Haley, director of the housing authority and the director of the redevelopment commission at that time also said that the problem in the past was the failure of companies to get strong tenants on leases. “The problem has been simply the failure to get leases from rated compan ies,’’ Haley said. “To get the mortgages you have to have some backing and hey were unable to get strong tenants on leases.” Robert Ward said that he is aware of the fact that over the years, several and true concern time and time again for a shopping center and their hopes have been raised time and time again and died; this must never happen again, ’ ’ Ward continued. The shopping center Ward proposes would include a supermarket, a hairdres ser, a toy shop, office space, a savings and loan, a drug store, a variety store, an auto store, a bank, tire center, and a shoe store. The shopping center is estimated to cost between $1.5 to $2 million. Ward said that the center has Aldermen would have to authorize the land to be put up for sale and then Ward would have to submit his bid. Alderman Larry Little, of the North Ward and the only alderman to attend the press conference said that he was optimistic about the project. “There is an important need for a center in this community and it’s about time we started putting money back into East Win ston. Little also added that he thinks Ward has some sup- Burger king are also in the area of the proposed shop ping center. Ward said that because of the rapidly increasing pri ces of gasoline and other automobile operating ex penses that inner city res idents can no longer afford to the luxury of traveling outer suburbs. “Development of the site will allow Winston-Salem to continue in a growing pat tern and this will ward oft what many cities are now undergoing: dying a slow death,” Ward stated.

Projected completion for the center is December 1979. Ward said that he is developing through differ ent sources financial back ing, including financing from insurance companies. John Cockerham, who is the real estate manager of community development for the city said that he has seen the site plan but that he has had very little contact with Ward. “I would be delighted if he can pull it off,” Cocker- ham said. “I don’t know how many tenants he has, but we would have to see his financial statement.” In order for Ward to get the land the Board of, leated words over and over to the horse, pally one of the guards asked him why he had made ich a promise. “You know you can’t teach a horse to talk!” Les,” said the thief. “I know.

However, if Ward’s plan is to survive where others failed he would have to have some chain stores and , supermarkets, according to James Haley. “To be successful, the center would need a full supermarket,’’Haley said. “The nearest one is at Eastgate or North Point or Northside. “It would also need some junior variety stores like Roses, and beauty par lors,” Haley continued. “Having adequate shop ping facilites would have a spillover effect and it would definitely improve the de velopment of the area. ’ ’ Presently a McDonald’s franchise is under construc tion, and a Mr. Bojangles | Chicken, a laundry mat, and an ABC Liquor Store and Let Sound Collorii Audio Components A Division of Ed Kelly's, Inc and HITACHI Help You Save Money With Low Clearance Prices FM/AM/FM STEREO MATCHED MUSIC SYSTEM 0 HITACHI SDP 8200 H FM/AM/FM STEREO MATCHED MUSIC SYSTEM WITH 8 TRK.RECORDER by ^HITACHI SBP8410H jQ NEW FORD TRADE-INS • 8 track tape playback deck • Full size auto, record changer • Built in FM/AM stereo receiver • Two way bass and treble controls • Phase lock loop FM-stereo circuitry for high quality reception • ITL/OTL Circitry ' 8 track tape recorder/ play back deck • Full size auto, turntable with cueing and diamond/sapphire stylus • Built in FM/ AM stereo receiver • Big 8", 2 way bass reflection speaker system • Turning meter • 41 detert bass treble and volume controls. ■77 Cervutt* '77 MUSTANG T-Top.
