Sears!

I LOVE Christmas stuff. Did you go to Macy's or Dillards, and see what sort of Christmas things they had, too? I miss US shopping!!!! :(

LOL, good eye!

Unfortunately no, I didn't check out any of the other department stores. I happened to park by Sears, so I walked through and looked at furniture and Christmas stuff, then continued into the mall. I was actually hoping to get some Asian trinkets at that little store that had all the furniture and knives and things, but they appear to have closed :(

I do really like the mall now, though...very clean and bright and (dare I say) "hip". When my well-traveled aunt Bev was in town, I was not ashamed to send her there looking for handbags :)

Oh no, that little place is closed? I loved it! And in all honesty, it had hung around a pretty decently long time for all of those little stores along that line. I'd certainly rather have THAT little place in the mall, than, say, that gawd-awful Spencer's store!

I LOVE the mall, the new section is EXCELLENT! It wasn't even fully finished when I was there last, so I can't wait to see what else has been completed/finished/added.

And you're SO RIGHT! There's no need at all to be ashamed of sending important people handbag shopping when there's a Coach store easily at hand. ;) Speaking of, did you know the ONLY place I can get a legitimate Coach bag here is LONDON?! Seriously, the only real Coach store IN THE ENTIRE UK is located in Terminal 5 of Heathrow airport. UGH, this place.

At least I can get Francesco Biasia and DKNY locally. Sheesh.

Barnes and Noble is about ready to open--the facade is done and there's stock inside. It looks really nice, and big. Some existing stores seem to have had facelifts, too. There's a nice seating area next to Sears on the downstairs level that has leather couches and chairs. The fountain is still there, but smaller. It looks nice.

I think that horrible pet store is gone, too...or at least, I didn't see it when I was there. MAN that place was depressing. Who thought it was a good idea to put animals in tiny plastic boxes all day?
