It's a mall!
It's outside!
Let's all act like these aren't the same chain stores IN EVERY OTHER CORNER OF THE COUNTRY!
Why would you want an outdoor mall somewhere that gets snow? Beats me!
Yay, let's celebrate with a $8 corporate coffee beverage!
Admitting to liking the Waterfront is tantamount to saying "I love big box stores and will gladly buy all the crap they push at me. I am obviously bereft of taste."
But that's really mean and I don't want to drink TOO much hater-aide.
I have never: waited in line for popcorn at the mega theater,
had to 'look' for a parking space in front of the Barnes and Noble,
had anything but the best service at all the establishments.
Jobs for locals are wonderful! It's just sad that they aren't at small/med sized businesses that are integral parts of the community.
But real life kids, it's a mall. Don't get your panties in a wad.
