V Students make manual of best shopping areas After tallying the ballots, the Mounds Mall was proclaimed the favorite shopping area of Anderson citizens. As a class project, distributive education students produced a manual, based on a survey of 700 shoppers, showing why the mall is more popular than downtown. Assets of the mall included the number of stores, store hours, and free parking facilities. The major criticism of downtown shopping areas was the lack of free parking.
