Read moreAte at California Pizza kitchen then went to Rocky mountain chocolate factory for dessert. Chain stores, shopping experience for the privileged. A reminder of the disparity of class differences in our country. Not realistic at all. The trees need attention. Maybe some birdhouses instituted to make up for the lack of thought and ignorance toward other living organisms. I saw twenty magpies crammed into one small, bare, tree. We all need space and this shopping center has taken it away, just experience the parking lot, with all the unnecessary dually trucks and ridiculous selfish, aggressive drivers competing for abnormally tight parking spots and aisles. Ever heard that walking is good for you, people!? Ted's is usually good. I'd subscribe and support more local businesses, less chain stores, if that were an option. But no, it's not, because these stores are all that're being built. I wish big greedy business conglomerates would calm down and actually build something other than the same, money-gauging, plastic shopping centers. The shopping experience here represents our deepest insecurities of wanting more, unawares, not being satisfied with simple things and simple lives, of which I am not immune. These centers only encourage that soft spot in our psyche, condition us to be ok with being extravagant and wasteful. Let's get better than most at keeping that soul-sucking part of...
Read moreIt's hard to judge this area as I'm not really a customer but an employee of one of the shops, so any opinion of mine is going to be colored by that.
First off, this is where all the upper middle class white folks go. There is often blatant disregard for the mandatory mask use because, you know, we're in a pandemic. And I understand that the people sitting down with food in their literal hands are not going to wear masks while eating. My complaint is not directed towards them.
My complaint is directed towards the individuals who don't wear a mask, don't respect the rules of the individual stores, and generally are very blase towards the whole pandemic. I also strongly dislike that many of the shops only have a single entryway unless you're on a corner lot.
Walking trash around the line of shopfronts to the back of the building to throw it away at night and in the dark is frankly somewhat scary.
I would also appreciate it if the "mall" would have directory booklets. I'm sorry I don't know which of the 20 businesses in the mall sells wine by the bottle, jerk. I care about 3 locations and the rest mean nothing to me!
Also, wear your mask! Your face looks stupid...
