But seriously, it is convenient to work near Plaza America. Starbucks is accessible for a quick coffee meeting with a client, and Vie De France has killer breakfast crepes. There's several solid options for the quick casual lunch, and Melting Pot and Nikko are nice options for dinner without having to venture into the RTC vortex. And yes, I have to admit that Whole Foods is a benefit as well ... their hot foods and salad bar for breakfast and lunch are very convenient for grabbing something quickly and taking it back to the office. If I need some of the basics, there's CVS. If I need something shipped, there's the UPS Store. Office supplies? There's Staples. Pretty much anything that I need in a pinch at work, I can find there. Now if they just would do something cool with the prime real estate where Chammps used to be ...

I'd rather there be two paths or a circle so I didn't feel like I was backtracking. It was also close to 100 degrees in April, so that was unexpected. There were lots of stores here and I checked out what they had, but nothing caught my fancy that was worthy enough to try and figure out how to pack to get home. That's the bummer while shopping on a trip. These outlets are probably better if you have a particular store in mind or just want to get some steps in while shopping. Or hit the food court (I didn't visit)

But when I pulled in here, I wasn't mad. Visiting a mall early in the morning is weird. It is mostly deserted. No stores open. Almost completely void of people except those in here doing their jobs. Kind of gives you the 'Dawn of the Dead' vibe, like you are one of the only survivors left in the world. Odd to say, but almost peaceful. This mall seems to be doing fairly well. I did not see many vacancies. Which is great, and almost always the case in this area. This mall feels vast. The layout feels like you need to know exactly what you are getting in here, or set aside time to allow you to freely wander in here. My stop, to use the facilities, took a bit longer than I expected. I have never been here before, and this was not a good thing. I ended up parking in what I thought was the middle of the mall, however, not knowing where the restrooms were, I ended up walking for a while. What was interesting was when I did finally find the restrooms, if I would have used one of the other entrances nearby, it would have been a much quicker stop. But I wouldn't have had the zombie vibe.

Parking on the weekends, during the rain, or during holidays is rage inducing. However, it's an impressive development.

Businesses come and go so every year can be a bit different. It's people's default or safe choice to go to when they have nothing else to do and frankly it's a lot better than other mall choices in the vicinity.

I spoke with the manager who confirmed this policy and I defended my situation by stating that I'd been this before over the years.
