      <marmot:placeNotes>The Mesa Mall was built in 1980. According to Howard Shults, a local land speculator and auctioneer, the land purchased for the development of the mall sold for $25,000 an acre on average in the late 1970's. Shults owned the land on which the eastern end of the mall was built, and had originally bought the land for less than $100 an acre.&#xD;
&#xD;
Prior to construction, much of the Mall&#x2019;s location was pastureland, used to graze cattle awaiting shipment from the Durham Stockyard.</marmot:placeNotes>
