This morning I went to do some mall-walking and noticed a change that
had been made to said mall; in front of the various department stores
were seating areas similar to this one:Now,
most of them weren't as large as this one, but they all featured sofas
and tables. Not many people were utilizing them when I walked
past, but I daresay when it gets busy they'll be filled.
Especially when back-to-school shopping time comes around. ;^)ADDED: The department
store to the right used to be - or maybe still is? - a Foley's but the
sign has been removed from above the entrance, presumably to make way
for a Macy's sign. That's going to be interesting, having the
Foley's stores around here morph into Macy's.

I was in a mall in Saginaw yesterday with my daughter-in-law and granddaughter shopping for clothes for the young'un. That gets old in a hurry, so I looked for a place to sit and found none anywhere in the mall except at the very far end. The message I got was "Keep moving and keep spending money."
See, you should move down here.
We treat our shoppers right: "C'mon in, set down and take a load off, then when you're all refreshed, go spend some money."
I've been in a lot of malls but I've never seen a seating area like that! Now THAT'S Southern Hospitality!

PS I should point out that many of those malls I've visited have BEEN in the South.
The moms club i belong to meets at the mall in arlington to walk and meets near a set up similar, just before the mall opens so they have somewhere to sit while they wait for everyone to show.
Our mall has several of those, too. One is set up by a futon store! Care for a snooze?
