Movin' on up!

Yesterday I enjoyed a long walk at the river but today was cold and raw so I was off to the mall. It's only been a couple of days but there have been some nice changes made. The lower level now sports 3 nicely furnished seating areas. This will provide a comfortable setting for all of the gentlemen who are waiting on their wives to complete their shopping. The trash cans have also been updated with new enclosures with rounded top surfaces. Of course this means I will not be able to rest my coffee cup there when I start to get warm and I stop to remove my jacket. Oh well, it's worth the sacrifice to have a nicer looking trash container.

As for the windows, there are still plenty of smudges to clean up, but I saw some personnel actively cleaning glass.

Two stores have closed up shop. Whimsey Gifts and another shop that sold sports related dodads are gone. Both stores were lacking any sort of merchandising appeal and didn't offer anything to the general attraction of the mall. I don't believe they will be missed.
