I've been told many times that this was the place to be back in the 90s. Apparently I came here all the time when I was a wee tot. I had some time to kill so I decided to check out the once happenin' Metro Center.
Yeah, it's pretty bad. Lots of empty stores (vacant and not). The stores that are there seem to be barely thriving. They have an awesome Chinese Food place called Jade's in the food court.
It's sad to see once bustling centers of social and economic life deteriorate. I actually really hope this place comes back to life eventually.
