I grew up in the DC area and remember Tysons Corner catering to more lower income/middle income families. I went back home to visit and stopped by Tysons and it has changed dramatically. I'd say it's still too soon to tell with Northlake, the area is just growing SO much right now.

wow metro you must psychic mind powers... i was just reading about that

^ yes, it will stop, but only when you have no chance of enjoying the outdoors. In my experience, only when you are trapped in your cube with no means of escape is the weather ever perfect. Sorry. The glass is half empty today.
so true.........so VERY true
i too am cultivated in a cube farm daily. at least though when it's sunny out i can pretend as though i'm outside in a green field playing my guitar......in my mind lol

is it ever gonna stop raining???

. When I went in I did not look like their typical customer so I guess they thought less of me and more than likely thought I did not carry the cash to buy their precious Fake Antiques. A2
you should have walked in with your axe strapped to your back rockin' the eddie t-shirt, then bought some expensive antique and dropped right after you pay for it. as they stand there horrified you could just shrug and say "meh...i was gonna use it for my cat's water dish anyhow"

optimist park is definitely ugly right now

ZING!!
(sorry lame pun)

Upon leaving the mall I took Nlake Pkwy to Reames Road. What gives???
It is a tiny two lane COUNTRY road. I saw cows and goats on a pasture less than 1/2 mile away from the pkwy!
B)
Did you notice the lama farm about a mile south of the mall??? i always think of Napoleon Dynamite when I pass that.

They are having a Jockey Bra Fit Event there this afternoon.
Do they allow viewers?????

KaDeWee in Berlin is killer! So are Selfridges in London and Manchester.

I have been to KaDeWee and was overwhelmingly unimpressed. *big yawn*

it was also really frustrating as the cellphone towers aren't up yet or something, so service was really spotty.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
i live a stone's throw from the new mall and can tell you that the whole area has spotty cellphone service. when i first moved here i thought perhaps cingular just didn't work well in charlotte, until i realized it was only the northlake area that has crap service.

[*]The new parkway is as impressive as the mall. Its well designed, has sidewalks and curbs and even bike lanes.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
yea that feature is nice. my daughter and i have been bike riding on that for a couple of months now. i'm curious to see how "safe" of a ride it will be now that it is open to traffic

my wife works across the street from the mall on Perimeter Drive and she said that it is all out insanity there right now. She said that a chick from her work took an early lunch and headed over there and it took her 40 min to find parking.

Anyway, get ready for I-77 to become a nightmare (again).

*shudder* I dread this OH so much. I want my north corridor commuter train NOW not in 2010

ilektronik, you're exactly right. Why would anything original ever go over in a suburban shopping mall? Give us the same staid, boring, tired monopolistic chains we can get in any city in these United States. God-forbid we ever want anything different.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I want something unique and different as much as the next person. I'm just saying that you are looking in the wrong medium. Malls are the paradigm of cookie-cutter America.
Give me a downtown street dotted with mom & pop joints anyday over a mall.
-
It's a mall. It's a Belk. Both just as homogenous as I expected. Could have been Anywhere USA. Yawn.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
isn't that the point of mall retail shops?? so that anywhere you go you get the same customer experience. you expected something unique?

I like flashy-looking shirts and ties at work, straight off the fashion show runways

And who was it that started this stupid "big announcement rumor"? I will be sure not to ever take anything this person says again with a grain of salt.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
you will be sure not to take anything he says with a grain of salt?? so in other words you will take everything he has to say very seriously? as opposed to taking it with a grain of salt?
speak english much?

Then why are the streets littered with homeless in San Francisco that are of asian origin? Did they suddenly forget what was "ingrained" in them as children in Asia?

I don't buy the argument. My guess is that they've got a stronger family support structure with extended families in the same household so older folks and those with mental problems are more likely to receive support and care. Our culture in the U.S. is much more fragmented with nuclear families spread over the entire large continent.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Very good point. Particularly about how the American family is more fragmented. In other cultures one takes his/her parents when they are too old to fend for themselves. Here we send them florida.
