[mljones99]

I know! Whats up with Hermes never being open??? And I thought Neiman clsoed early! Hermes just seems to take vacations! lol

We're open Monday - Saturday 10am-6pm. Closed on Sunday.

[mljones99]

Has Juicy Couture opened yet? The store is still not listed on the company's website. Hermes has updated theirs.

They just started construction last week.

Within the next 6 months I imagine the first retailers will open for biz. The exterior of the bldg is near completion. Just working on the "guts" now.

Morrison. Taken yesterday

[A2]

^^While many here might like Morrison, I am a bit disappointed. I live accross from this project, and thought that the it seemed very nice and dense, but was set back waaaay to far from Colony. I am still wondering what will take shape on the corner of Colony and Sharon as it is just a large vacant parcel. It would have seemed that if this were a "phased in" project that you would want to have the first phase built to house retail on one of the busiest intersections in SouthPark.

As for a grade I would give it a B-. It is overall a dense qausi-urban development that has some aesthetic qualities, but it still has yet to become a beacon of hope in an otherwise car-centric neighborhood. It is going to take ten fold this type of development to really change things. I am hopeful that in time Southpark will morph into something more Urban. Let's make sure that when we do build these " Urban Developments" in SP we do it closer to the street to sheild more parking lots, and create more of an Urban synergy.

(sorry Atlrvr, I know you like Morrison)

A little off-topic, but if SouthPark had its old style back, this Nordstrom would have definately fit in (just imagine white brick)

[StevenRocks]

^ It definately looks like old SouthPark, which Nordstrom is that?

Well what do ya know, the Grape is coming to the Village at SP....they dont show it on the mall directory but it states it on the "@ your mall now" section on the SP website....

[appatone]

I guess it isn't that big of a surprise but they will be going head to head with Dean and Deluca's wine shop in Phillips Place.

Did anyone go the the neighborhood meeting tonight at the Marriett SouthPark? It was the meeting regarding the proposed Ghazi condo tower near Fairview Road....

According to some articles I have read and a brief blurb on the news, several neighborhoods are in oposition to it being built. I am not sure really why it would be such a big deal for these neighborhoods considering there are already towers lining Fairview that are about as tall as the proposed tower. It is not like Ghazi is building it off of the main drag.

From a mall employee standpoint, I welcome it. It is something new in very poor food court.

[moving uptown]

they have begun putting signage on the new building next to crate and barrel - paul simon had its logo on the store outside

There's a mcdonalds across the road. It's just making a poor food court poorer. From a mall employee's standpoint I'm glad I get a discount at Mccormicks.

Why don't they put like a GameStop or something there? McDonald's is so played out and not even good....and there are plenty of junk food options in the food court, besides, Showmars has waaaay better burgers!

I can't say I'm impressed, but it's an okay choice.

I got a chance to go through Dillard's SouthPark today. It's not what it was, but it's a fresh and somewhat modern take on the space.

The men's department is pretty much done and the other sections of the store are coming along. They're even getting new escalators!
