Kinda like how you are going to get Governor Brownback?

Heard that Reverse will be shutting down when their lease is up. Also heard they may do something in conjunction with the new La Bodega out south (same owners).

depressing. And hear I thought we had turned the corner with our hip new urban core. Why not a new concept in Westport or Xroads?

So I wonder if Highwoods has something up their sleeve if they are booting Granfalloon and Reverse? That will open up a pretty significant chunk of space.

A juvenile detention facility?

They better have something up their sleeve, or the Plaza is done.

I don't think the effects will last - as long as the PR folks keep the emphasis on the teen/facebook/twitter aspect of this I don't think it will have any long term impact on the plaza reputation. Until facebook/twitter get this shit under control, it will stay a national news story and folks will stay far more focused on the safety of their kids online than they are on the saftey of any particular neighborhood.

The idea that the Plaza will wither and die if this isn't immediately rectified is probably the most ignorant bit of hyperbolic arm-waving to come along since I can remember.

There were issues with teens in late 80s, then mid-90s until the movie theater added restrictions. Some screamed the sky is falling and Plaza will die. Plaza didn't die, it grew.

These things go in cycles.

I read on the Star's website that Banana Republic is moving to the old Z Gallerie spot. Anyone know why they're moving? I think their current location is great!
Is something going on at the Gap? I walked by today, and I think I saw a temp. wall built at the front doors.

Country Club Plaza stores move to temporary digs so they can remodel

Joyce Smith was unclear if the BR move was permanent or temporary. I can't imagine Gap/BR can justify stores that huge in 2010. I don't think Gap/BR have stores that big in the Chicago River North/Mich Ave area much less a floundering upscale shopping center in Kansas City.

kind of weird that banana republic would move out of their spot.

i'm not sure what highwoods is planning. unfortunately if you look at their website they're predominantly focused on office rentals so do not know much about the retail environment.

i hope they start doing something soon or else the plaza will lose it's competitive edge.

Maybe Gap will move into the old Banana, then the old Gap will become an H+M. It kinda looks like one already.

I don't think H&M would want a three-level store. Seems like H&M would already be here if they wanted to be. I'm also guessing they would be looking to have multiple stores in the market. The 47th Street area would be the most plausible place for H&M. Maybe Gap is going to open an Old Navy.

B&N is what needs to be moved elsewhere to new store. I like the atrium-style, but that place is a clusterfuck.

The bum bathrooms are perfectly situated.

Love the B&N layout, it's one of my favorites of that type of store.

what a complete clusterfuck.
