Neasties To Have Constant Supply Of Shoes, Lids
 |
Simon Property Group -- which owns Oxford Valley Mall, King of Prussia, etc. -- and Farallon Capital Management have agreed to purchase the Mills Corporation. (A Canadian company which previously made a bid for the financially-troubled company has a chance to match their higher offer.)
All of this means: Yes! You will be able to get Robert Morris University sweatshirts for just $10 at Steve and Barry's. You will be able to play Glow Golf. (Although I think that place is closed now.) You will be able to shop at crappy kiosks! It's a great time to be alive.

I'm kind of surprised I didn't do a 49th Street Galleria reference myself.

who the hell says Neasties? WTF...
You are banned from the NE.
Never show your face here again.
You hate Philly. No wonder PW gave you a job.

I remember the neighbors being so pissed at the Galleria that it almost didn't open -- laser tag, bowling, arcade games ... it rocked. And then I turned 15, and got over it.

Yes, but who can forget the 49th Street Galleria? Or the dancing rats that used to roam the mall?
Ahh the memories....
