Ownership at Hamburg Place development
Question: Do the Maddens still own the land that Hamburg Place sits on? Who owns the buildings? Are the roads in the shopping center maintained by the city?
Answer: Hamburg Place has several arrangements for leasing and ownership, said Pat Madden, spokesman for the corporation. In some cases, retailers own their sites. In others, they own the land but lease the building. In still others, they lease both the land and the building. Roads are both private and public; the private roads are designated as such on the street signs and are serviced by the corporation. The city maintains the two major thoroughfares, Sir Barton Way and Pink Pigeon Parkway, according to the city Streets and Roads department.

I began my research career as a University of Virginia physics librarian. Watergate got me interested in news, and I have been at the Herald-Leader for 28 years. I have a master’s degree from Northern Illinois University and an undergraduate degree from Oklahoma State University. It's fun to find that one piece of information that makes a story sizzle. If you have a question, I know where to look. 
My mother was a public school librarian. I earned a bachelor’s degree in music and a master’s degree in library and information science from the University of Kentucky. The Herald-Leader hired me as a news assistant 25 years ago; soon after, I moved to the news research department, where I’ve been ever since. We used to clip newspapers. Now, almost all of our research is online. We've come a long way.
