text: It is unfair to review this mall on what it was since it no longer is and what it is is not as good as what it was It is also unfair to review this on what it will be since it is not that yet nnToday it is a mall I rarely visit Apart from a few stores I would visit out of convenience or necessity there is not much to offer compared to what it used to have The fantastic movie theater Jutenhoops Alpine Ski Keller Bear Cover and even Ed Debevics are all long gone oops there I go bringing up the past Seriously though these were painful to lose one by onennSo today there is a Linens n Things which is hardly unique and a Trader Joes which is nice to have in the area and also a Sisters Attic and Closet upscale thrift stores which add a bit of muchneeded flavor The Chilis the Bookstar and Black Angus are still around So is the jewelry store that has never really offered a compelling reason to enter They have wedged an LA Fitness here and they have also added a Blimpie and an Arbys all very healthy choices nnBesides all of the generic shops and eateries and standard offerings there is still a few unique experiences though nothing like it used to shit there I go again Anyway so there is a few places that are not screaming standard mall such as Pita Grill a pipe and tobacco shoppe you have to spell it that way in this case a place to get eyewear and some other small and uninteresting businesses nnIn that sense I suppose this is has become a decent and convenient neighborhood strip mall This is a shame really since it is lacking most of the key elements that made it really special It is still a beautiful outdoor mall and the architecture alone makes it a unique alternative to the cookiecutter malls that strategically litter the landscape of America nnIm worried about what they will do to the architecture when they renovate this place someday but I think the fact that this mall is not terribly interesting anymore in general means it will not be so terribly missed when they lose that last remaining bit of special
