So we went to Tanglewood Mall and asked some shoppers how they feel about the case now. And I promise I won't ask this question again, when you hear their reactions you'll understand why.

It has now been restored and re-opened in Roanoke County.
The restoration project began in 1995, when it was taken apart and numbered piece by piece, then rebuilt at Explore Park.
