West Acres Mall — Local services in Fargo

My experience at West Acres Mall was very powerful. An assault on my senses. Beauty everywhere. Listened to a young artist play piano. The piano was beautiful. The music tricked through my ears down into my chest. I think his name was trevor. He had cool hair and a sparkly watch. I love watching his hands and he had huge forearms yet played with grace. I began to cry. The chair was really comfortable. The people there made me feel welcome and safe. I met some beautiful twin girls. The artwork in that mall is seriously moving. The bison. I LOVE ALL OF THE BISON. Beautiful pottery and blown glass. The painted buffalo was so badass. The beadwork on the bison was beautiful. I noticed the painting that went up the tail and spine which stopped at the beadwork. I wonder why they chose that configuration. I count things and it helped me to follow the pattern. The display was awesome. I'm so glad to be clean and sober because I would never have known those details, or even cared for that matter. Thanks to all the people who created that experience. I saw a winter bison by Rose painting on my way out the door. I loved it. It's weird how as I see and experience this art that there is something deeper moving in me. Each person there was there at the exact right time. Ultimately, I didn't deserve any of this yet I will receive it with gratitude. I should be dead. I was lost but am found. The kaleidoscope was sweet. The paintings on the walls were really cool. There are some seriously beautiful people in that place. I LOVE YOU...

So I’ve been buying sunglasses from that little shop in the middle of the mall close to the food court for some time now. It’s a blonde woman in her late 40s blonde who runs the shop. I’ve bought a few pairs of over priced sunglasses there, which have lasted me a bit, along with a few accessorize glasses. I do NOT have a single pair of them now, because they have all broken in the same way. One screw comes out (tiny as all hell so I lose it) and now these 30-50 dollar pair of glasses are no longer usable. Today I went to get a new pair for a shoot that I was doing. They were $30 and I thought they were super cute. I guessed that they’d probably last a few months like the others but NO, they broke while I was walking around target. Would you guess what broke? One screw came loose and fell out. Because I had purchased these less then 30 mins prior I went back and let her know I’d really appreciate either picking out another pair for half priced or a free pair of the ones I just bought. She then proceeded to blame me saying I broke them by pulling on the middle rope piece that holds the tag….yeah I get I’m young but I just spent $30 on a pair of glasses I knew could be fragile, not to mention that’s just not how I treat my new thing. I pulled apart the very easily REMOVABLE button and everything was fine….till the screw fell out. Either way I felt for as often as I buy from her, she’s be a little kinder. No and that’s fine, so if you’re looking for cheaply made over priced glasses…this...

Lots of art. Very modern. Nice kid area(didnt go in) nice food court, ate at Lean chinn and Cajun something. The two workers from each store qorking there were cheap entertainment to watch them compete and talk world views haha one guy was a little racist the other born in Hollywood. Lol loved the deals in jc pennys .. Loved the fountain with kaleidoscopes. A nice lady gifted me some plants from the water fountain area. Very nice friendly staff. Clean and neat. The middle aisle businesses dont harass. Samples in food court. Lots of choices and options. Lg variety of stores. A few ecalotors i think i seen. A grand piano with piano player. Dodmt spend much money less than intended. Pleasant experience. Some mall walkers and some bums around but nothing intense. Kid friendly. Brought a double stoller and it was easy to get around especially when i finally realized the wierd brake like things...
