I love Eau Claire! I have no idea what it was like when it was a *busy mall,* but seeing as how busy malls make me anxious, I'm glad Eau Claire is so quiet. It also has so many things I'm often looking for! An iPhone repair shop, a quiet theatre, an inexpensive place to hem pants ($8!), strange British snacks, wine, etc. It also has a great food court that is brimming with independent restaurants; perfect, for when you're looking for cheap meal options that won't turn the button on your jeans in to a WMD.
