I lived near the Norterra Shops for about a year. I would usually come here to see a movie, grab happy hour at Pita Jungle or check out some of the stores. My favorite stores are Charming Charlie's, Bevmo and Victoria's Secret. I've seen a few stores open and close pretty quickly and noticed there are also many empty stores now. The area itself is pretty, but I hope that more stores can open up so it is a useful place to shop. There are also other stores that have opened such as a swimsuit store and a few clothing shops, but they are quite expensive.
I hope Norterra stops shrinking and starts to grow because I feel it has great potential and I'm excited to see where it goes. I hope to see some local restaurants open rather than only chains.
