I drove by Deer Park today on my way to Flint.  It said "Coming soon: Upscale Retail - Walmart & Kohls."  Since when is Walmart upscale?!  I wouldn't call Kohls upscale either, but it's 10 times more upscale than Walmart!

I think they are refering to it's architecture.

Cool. The parking lot doesn't look too bad, but I'm sure they weren't focusing on accurately representing that. Other than the fact that it's fake urbanity, I don't like how a lot of these "lifestyle centers" try to mimic old downtowns but they always follow a linear path. Sure the street is curved, but you can't go down a side street and find an abundance of other stores to choose from.

Sometimes I just like to roam around in an urban environment just to see what's around me. That's where downtown Flint fails, as well as Frankenmuth, and many other quasi-urban areas in Mid-Michigan.
