| - I hadn't been to the Biltmore since it's mid-remodel stage, and at that time, I wasn't very impressed with the new look. I still miss the way it use to look, but I think it is getting better. They've moved some of the stores around -- most notably the stores that used to be in the back are now near the front by Macy's. And, there seem to be a whole host of new stores and restaurants popping up.
But what really thrilled me, and what made me come out to see their new look (well, that is, new to me) is their Movies in the Park events throughout October and the first Friday in November. It is FREE (amazing!), and it was a BLAST! The first movie they showed was Casablanca, and most of the subsequent ones they will be showing are classic. But, check out their website (www.shopbiltmore.com) for more info.
I didn't think the place would be too packed, but there were a decent amount of people that showed up. The movie was shown in the center lawn, near Saks. And all kinds of people congregate to the area -- friends, couples, families and their dogs spread out blankets and chairs and had a great time watching the movie. The weather was superb which is always nice, but it was also a fantastic way to enjoy an evening with a new community of friends. It definitely added a nice touch to the new look and feel of Biltmore Fashion Park!
