Greetings.

A few things, as i have been reading the thread ...

If Best Buy owns the parking lot, would it be considered "public" airspace?
I forget the laws regarding land which is "used as" public, but is indeed,
pun intended, private.

This wouldnt really be of great importance in this matter. With the right amplifier and antenna equipment, you could 
easily pick up a signal from some land/airspace not held in private hands. The price may go up, but its still within 
technical means.

Gordon.
