Rika Gaston and Kquaon Hansard were helping to empty one of the fashion stores for their friends Wednesday afternoon, although when asked, they couldn't name the store."Seeing Eastland growing up, it's going to be a change of scenery," said Hansard, 20, of the South Side."I live right down the street. I'm going to have to drive 20 minutes to Easton now," Gaston said.
