Speaking of Malls…

By: Mr. Wilson on December 1, 2009
Speaking of malls on O Street, Gateway just finished some renovations. They removed the former Disney Store location -- walls and all -- so that now it's all open from the carousel to the department stores on the north end. I suppose open space is less tacky (and more flexible) than an empty store. Speaking of empty stores, despite the various vacancies throughout the mall Gateway doesn't feel unpleasantly empty. It's still active and reasonably well-maintained. It feels to me like the mall is just a tiny boost of momentum away from picking up steam again.

We were there on Sunday and had the same feeling. It’s a nice mall and it looks good. Well maintained, vibrant. Granted, the quality of some of its tenants has declined, but the vibe was nice.

I walked by the carousel and noticed something was different but didn’t stop to think about it. It’s definitely an improvement.
