this was my first pavement experience, and i was pretty impressed. prices are totally reasonable and there are tons of cute items. however, there were definitely some total duds in terms of wearability and price. $40 for a t shirt? no thanks. but that was an anomaly for sure.
additionally, service is kind of laissez faire. i walked out with a pile of clothes, but my pittsburgher friend said that she never buys things there because she always feels ignored by the sales staff. i can see that; it was definitely not the friendliest or most helpful service.
