Chirstmas Season

Well the Christmas season is in full swing.  Visited the College Mall (2894 E 3rd Street) this morning, which opened at 9am.  There were already quite a few cars in the parking lot and groups milling around inside.  Is anyone else frustrated by the new trend of the kiosk's?  I am talking about the ones where you can't walk past them without one of the cheesy sales people pushing hand cream or some other gimmick product at you.  One in particular is located at a junction in the mall that you have to walk by.  There are always two or three people working the kiosk, and pushing some kind of hand cream or finger nail treatment products.  I liken this to a bad used car dealership.  I am coming to the mall to do some X-mas shopping, I know what I want to get and in most cases where to get it from.  I don't want these 'dolled' up pretty boys pushing nail care products to me for my wife.  If I wanted to go somewhere to loose money and be assaulted by unwanted solicitors, I would just go to Las Vegas.  You would also think, that this mall would have a food court of some sort.  It is after all the only real (and I use that term rather loosely) mall in town.  The busiest place in the mall this morning, was the Chic-fil-A

New feature hopefully coming soon!  I thought it might also be interesting and useful to add store reviews so look for some of those in the near future.  If anyone has anything they would like to see added, all comments are welcome!  Feel free to let me know via my Profile link, I am always interested in hearing about things that might be utilized to improve the reading experience.

Thanks and take care.
