The Shops of Prairie Village — Local services in Prairie Village

I was here as the shops began to close. Stopping to check my phone/map more than anything else. There was the normal hustle and bustle. Shoppers heading towards thier car, employees running out trash to the dumpster etc. the weather was quite warm for early spring so I found myself sitting w/ my window down. As one employee was going out to their car, rather 2seem to converge from to directions… back and front doors? Idk. They went to the car parked next to me.
