The Shops At Suffolk Downs — Attraction in Revere

I grew up in BEACHMONT, a block away from Suffolk Downs and now the "SHOPS AT SUFFOLK DOWNS", what a difference a few years make. I remember when the horse trainers and jockeys coming and going from the liquor store,"JACKS", TO THE CONVENIENCE STORE, then they would hit up LUIGI'S PIZZA TO TOP OFF THE NIGHT WITH SOME DRINKS AND SHOTS. For years the track gathered such a crowd that when the races were over all the guys would race to their cars to get out of there before they're wives would find out, and the traffic was HORRENDOUS. THE PARKWAY,WINTHROP AVE TO BROADWAY REVERE WOULD LOOK LIKE A PARKING LOT. ALL BETWEEN 4-6PM. THOSE WERE THE BEST OF TIMES, BACK AT THE CLUBHOUSE,THERE WERE A COUPLE OF RESTAURANTS AND BARS EVERYONE WOULD BE THERE. NOW it looks like a circus, everyone is dressed like a baffoon. No manners or morals at anytime. That's not reflecting on the businesses though. Every store and restaurant in the center have their own unique character. STOP and shop are always professional and courteous. Target always has always brought a unique flavor to the shopping center, FLAMING GRILL the Chinese buffet place is excellent WITH service and food portions, th DOLLAR TREE IS NO LONGER IT IS NOW THE $1.49 TREE🤣😂....HAHA. you have to have a sense of humor to live on this planet. PLENTY OF PARKING EVERYWHERE, HANDICAPPED PARKING IS ABUNDANT, TESLA EVEN HAS A FEW SPOTS TO CHARGE THEIR CARS WITH 14 CAR BATTERIES AND A SMALL ATOMIC REACTOR IN EACH CAR . THEY ARE FRIGGIN RIDICULOUS IN PRICE AND IT TAKE 3 POWER GRIDS TO CHARGE ALL 15 CAR BATTERIES IN THOSE EXPLOSIVE DEATH TRAPS FROM HELL. OH YA DID I SAY I HATE TESLA?? Famous footwear is my go to shop for sneakers, boots, shoes etc..., then there is GNC, MATTRESS FIRM, WENDYS. REVERE BEACH IS A STONES THROW AWAY AND BOSTON IS 5...

Could have more restaurants like what was done at assembly mbta shopping center and condos that were built simultaneously. The security is too tight I was returning a vacuum i bought that broke the same day and felt persecution with the receipt. So there's that but we needed a Target around here so that's a plus. Can get almost anything there. There's a Wendy's 👎 I don't love stop and shop, personally but I bet it's helpful for people. As far as food clubs spots... I'm waiting lol I'll continue to. The casino is too much zush for a weekday or weeknight Come on! There's so much land there. We lost a great restaurant here in Beachmont, two in the last few years.the pizza place on the beach Bianci's Pizza and Beachmont roast beef....We need it something better than a chain but not too good for the average Joanne // Must//They need to serve...

This area is a tremendous waste of space. It's run down. So much more could be done here to improve the area visually, economically; as well as, with amenities to the community. Instead the great claim to fame there is an outdated horse betting track. There is Target, Stop & Shop, Famous Footwear & Dollar Tree. The Buffet place is annoying because the food is subpar at best, yet it creates traffic/parking issues. It shares the small parking area with Famous Footwear, Verizon, Dollar Tree and a couple of other stores (barber shop, Supplements place, maybe a Sally's?) And they monopolize the parking. They should be located elsewhere or that parking area needs to be increased. I think the buffet place and the mattress place should...
