Tuesday Morning remains alive and well, despite being in the middle of a construction zone. About a year ago it moved from its place toward the back of the shopping center to one more in the front. Where it was a Westin hotel is being constructed. The current layout is more straightforward than the old one was, all on one level. They're offering an abundance of Christmas merchandise, prominently displayed. The facade is currently being renovated, so the decorative accents and permanent signage have been removed and there is temporary signage. I'm sure when the work is completed it will look terrific.
We came here yesterday to look for a piece of luggage to replace my 22" TravelPro Suiter Rollaboard. Of course I had to explore the whole store and, as usual, my favorite area is the housewares. While I was roaming, Alan found the luggage and by the time I got there he had pulled out a couple of beautiful pieces for me to look at. Neither was right, though, as they were both 24-25" and neither had the suiter section in the top which allows me to fold my hanging clothes neatly. A third one had the same issues. He found himself a new backpack, though, sturdy and functional, Swiss Gear distributed by Victorinox and costing $39.95. It is much better quality than the one he's been using for travel and will replace it. In addition he found some low sodium pistachio snack mix and I found a couple of dark chocolate Lindt bars. It was a productive trip to Tuesday Morning, even if they didn't have my suitcase. read more
