New Hope for Sandburg Mall

On Midwest Week, after being vacant for about six months, a shopping mall in Galesburg may soon have a new owner, and could re-open.

Herb Trix's guest this week is Rob Connelly, reporter for the Galesburg Register-Mail.

You can also hear Midwest Week Fridays on WVIK at 6:20 pm during All Things Considered. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
