    I was in the mall a few nights ago, getting a haircut, and was seriously blown away by the stores that are coming in there.  Blown Away.  I knew there were going to be high end stores, but to see their "coming soon" signs all in a row like they are was seriously overwhelming.

    Stand where Children's Place use to be (OH DAMN, I am so sad we do not have a CP there anymore!), and you can see BCBG and Bare Escentuals.  Coming soon:  Tiffany, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Michael Kors, Kate Spade & Juicy Couture.  Let's not forget... NORDSTROM!

    I couldn't afford a keychain in any of those places, LOL!

    You're not kidding!  Seriously, are there enough people here able to support them.  I lived in Las Vegas for about 3 years, these are the kind of stores you see at the Forum Shops at Cesares Palace.

    I totally agree, and was thinking the same thing. Who is going to support those stores. Like it or not, Pittsburgh is still a blue collar town and I just can't see that many people shopping at those stores on a regular basis (aside from the occasional Christmas present).  Of course we'll all be going in daily to look...just not to buy :)

    Bring back Children's Place!

    I don't think I will be shopping in any of those stores unless I hit the powerball (although I don't think I would still be in Pittsburgh either).  I did want to let you know that there is a Children's Place at Pittsburgh Mills in case you didn't know that.  I have no idea where anyone lives or how far away the Mills Mall is but wanted to let you know they have one.

    Yes - Pittsburgh Mills... there's another at Streets of Cranberry... but I am sorta boycotting SoC, because all these new northern strips have taken away from so many local businesses in Wexford, where I live.  :(

    There's also a Children's Place in Waterworks Shopping Center in Aspinwall.

    I have to say I am thrilled that those stores are there...  will I be shopping there?  Sure!  Will I actually purchase anything?  Nope, probably not!  I cannot WAIT to take my daughter to Tiffany's though. 


    I would LOVE to see a Crate and Barrel in Pittsburgh, though!
