White Whale allegations only part of ongoing issues with The Terminal development project


The thread goes on to say that, in mid-November 2020, the owners moved quickly to secure our spot at The Terminal, including settling on lease terms and signing a Letter of Intent, all with the confirmation that McCaffery was not negotiating with another bookstore.
