Spent a good amount of time in the Block 37 mall today.

I'm all in all optimistic. It still could use more vibrance, but I thought the foot traffic was decent. A lot of people were in the Disney, Akira, and Zara stores.

Once this foreclosure mess is finally sorted out, I think the mall will have good potential. However, I think they should eliminate the 3rd and 4th levels and turn them into office or perhaps meeting space--this thing is adequate as a 2 level mall. If a hotel is ever developed here, that space could also provide a decent sized ballroom, I imagine.
