Each morning, the lights come up slowly, carefully mimicking the rising sun, but at night the test groups’ rooms never fully darken. In several quiet rooms in a marine lab in southwest France, dozens of Pacific oysters sit in glass tanks, quietly living their oyster lives. I would imagine, however, that the stores aren't going to be going out of business as quickly as they used to, now that the huge hospital went up directly behind the place.This article originally appeared in Hakai Magazine. We don't go into the stores, because the stores don't offer much that we're interested in looking at. Me, my son, and our cat sometimes visit it just to walk around. The main mall area, though, we don't go to very often. I like the location, too, so we often do pop in there for drink and relaxation. Next to the T-Mobile store is a very quaint Starbucks location that my son absolutely adores going into. There you can get service, pay bills, and other stuff. There is a T-Mobile store beside a Tanning salon which is placed to the left of the Chipotle Restaurant. There is a Potbelly Sandwich shop near the Chipotle that replaced something else, and doesn't seem to get many customers now, either. I don't know how Quadoba stays open when Chipotle is right across the street, and offers the same food. This was all within maybe five months of the entire mall opening. I think it had even replaced another store that had been there before it. It was gone in the span of maybe two months, tops. When the place first opened, there was a Coney store here. There used to be a Macaroni Grill located in this mall, as well. There used to be a decently sized Hot Topic, and Lane Bryant in the mall collection, as well. It was there for the holiday season, and gone just as quickly after the new year passed. Unfortunately, rent there, at the time, was around $16,000 a month, and they, admittedly, couldn't keep up with the price. It was worth going in to look around at, often. I never went back to have my hair cut there, again.įor a while, a few years back, a local museum set up a gift store in one of the store fronts in the mall. He went on to berate me for the remainder of the cutting session, about how the new stores were a great opportunity for people in the area, and that the large field, home to thousands of animals prior to the devastation of the land, and building a bunch of stupid clothing stores, had been a complete waste. I lived right next to the place, and told him, frankly, I hated it. Getting my hair cut in the place once, the hair stylist asked me if I liked the new mall. There used to be a Great Clips location in the collection of stores when this place first opened. Kids have very little to do here unless they want to go to Gymboree for, you guessed it, clothes. Chang's Chinese place located in the corner of the lot. The men have a big sports store to go to, or a bar at the P.F. That's great for the ladies, not so much for anyone else in a given family. The business collection here hasn't changed a whole heck of a lot since the first time I'm pretty sure I reviewed it: the place is made up almost entirely of clothing stores.
