A man who bought a mall in Texas turned heads after deciding to install a monument honoring the Ten Commandments.
John Bushman, the new owner of the Vista Ridge Mall in Lewisville, Texas, said he intended on turning the mall into a space for the local community to find “peace and love” and be reminded of the Ten Commandments.
Bushman spent $17.3 million on the mall and said he planned on spending an initial $3 to $4 million on renovations — including the monument, which is a signature of the several other businesses he owns throughout the country.
“We’re not trying to overwhelm anyone or make a statement,” Bushman told Dallas News. “We just believe in the Lord’s love. That’s the sole reason. We hope when someone sees it, it will touch their heart and give them new hope that day.”
