I miss this site and the good old days....

How totally AWSOME is the Tallahassee Mall! I can NOW watch a movie at AMC, play a little Dungeon and Dragons at the Magic shop sign up for the Army across they way, get me some fancy Dreads for my bald head and get my self an awesome Tattoo for the "USMC" right next door all in one wing of the mall! And parents, be sure to drop off your kids and leave them by them selves there, they will come back with all kinds of new stuff to show and tell you! .... and I cant even get one lousy appliance store!

The new Stone Age store (were The Gap used to be) is awesome. I know a lot of their things is the same, but you tend to see much more of it when it is spread out and not cramped in a small space. I was impressed.

That is all gossip. The AMC has a binding contract that is good for like 5 years or something. This has already been settled a month or so ago by Feldman's.. I believe it was said that a RAVE theater was going up at Falls Chase.

I have a theory. I think that the mall is letting some of these stores close on purpose. Simply because when more stores are closed it will make it easier for the mall to re-build and remodel. Not havin gto ask the store to close down temporally. Yeah it may sound odd, but I know of several malls that were ghost stores and then all the sudden millions of $$$ were invested into it and get rebuilt and alot of the stores return for business. Ive seen Pompano Mall and west palm beach mall in South Florida do this a few years ago. Now those malls are booming with business! So I will wait and see.

I saw this toady on WTXL ABC 27 Tallahassee website: "Tallahassee residents now have a new tool to keep up with the city's growth. Urban Tallahassee.com is a new website that tracks the city's economic development. When major projects come to town you'll no longer have to wait to see where they'll be or what they'll look like. There are currently 50 projects detailed on the website." I tried to stay out of this discussion but when I read this comment I got a little perturbed. Excuse my ignorance but I thought that Tallahassee had Urban Planet to-go-to to see what Major projects will be or what they looked like!? IMHO this statement here shows that Urban Tallahassee will compete with UP. Plus TJ even has this on his front page. I mean come on!

At first I wasn't crazy about the layout of the mall, but after looking at it again, it is starting to grow on me. It seems to have the best of both worlds in being about to park and go straight to your store or have the option of walking around and shopping and not have to trek across the parking lot. If that makes any sense. :-)

That would be insane if this were the case. Tallahassee Mall would explode! with business. Folks would come from Gerogia and from abroad to vist. I am not getting my hopes up, but remember when I said that I saw a Bass Pro shop vehicle park-outside and I think Poonther even mentioned something about it as well here while back?

I love Lifestyle centers, it makes me feel like I am actually out-side and getting "out" maybe because I work in an office all day. When I am in an indoor shopping mall I feel like I am stepping back in time to go shopping it feels so old school. Maybe its because I am from South Florida and the Outdoor Shopping malls were so nice. I am glad that Tallahassee is FINALLY catching up with times and getting some new shopping experiences under its belt.

I was looking at www.Feldmanmall.com last night and it worked OK for me. Had a lot of before and after pictures on the main page. They made me excited to think we have the opportunity to remodel our mall to look like these!....WOW Come on guys don't screw this pooch ether this is a great opportunity!

BEST IDEA IN THIS THREAD YET!!!! I go to the Dolphin Mall in Miami just to go the Dave and Buster's then before or after go shopping. Awsome shopping experience! It would be nice to put up a Dave and Buster Sign along Highway I10 for passerby's at that Exit.

SEARS..... Now that would be music to my ears!

OK WISE GUY!...lol Here is one for you! How about a Brands Mart USA! It may not be the best electronics store or may not have the most knowledgeable sales staff. But it would do actually well here IMHO given that they carry a mix of really cheap electronics but at the same time they carry High end items as well. Most of the stores I have been in are pretty lenient of the employees, so I think College students could work here. Plus most of the Florida City's have one except Tallahassee. Also the location could support all the adjecent towns as well given its near I-10 like most of the other stores. Tallahassee loves its electronic store's Best By and Circuit are ALWAYS busy. http://www.brandsmartusa.com/

lol..... I see thetoolman lurking around. Better not make any gender bender comments about his name!! Meh..... even my wife and her girlfriends call them man tools. I like that we men get some things to call our own and the ladys get things to call there own, give us something to talk about and teach each other. Would be any fun if we shared EVERYTHING! Geeesh how boreing!! O somthing about this Tallahassee Mall Topic....... um, they tore down a wall next to Barnes and Noble to put in a new extrance to a new store. Could be the Panara Breads we were talking about.
