Changing tides at Mount Berry Square one year later:
-The winter clearance sale today through Monday at Mount Berry Square isn't the only event at the mall this weekend. It is a time of comings and goings. As shoppers spot the clearance sale at the soon-to-go Gap store, they're also seeing signs announcing The Children's Place across from Hibbett's. And on another end, near the main entrance and the carousel, final touches are being added to Connect Rome new digs -- complete with The Nest Coffee Shop -- in the former Don Pablo's. Changes continue at the mall as Jones Lang LaSalle begins a second year as receiver of it and three owner malls. All four remain on the market today, either individually or in a $30 million package deal.
