Maybe someday if I'm lucky, I will...

I think our madmonkeygirl keeps Build A Bear in business personally. She loves that place!
:D

I think it's because some people seriously have the mentality that if something costs more, it's "better" somehow.

I was just going to say...

Kids of all ages LOVE BaB, on weekend afternoons you almost can't get inside a store.

Libby Lu is one I don't get. The ones here are always packed full on the weekends. That's been my experience at DL as well.

Don't be so sure of that. We may end up with even worse shlock.

Build a bear?

I had always gone to Illuminations, when it first opened. Last srping I went in, looking for a b-day gift. I was shocked that the prices had more than doubled on the jar candles.

They need a Leather Shop, an Adult Video shop, More Bars, and The Disney Brothel: Where the Customer always comes first.

What DtD needs more than anything is a deli/coffee shop kind of place where the average guest can get a reasonable non-burger, non-fancy meal. Jason's Deli, I'd love to put a Jason's Deli in there. Or at least a return of the Monorail Cafe.
There should be stores that, like DCA (smirk) cater to the crowd that's looking for a little slice of CA. How about a SF-themed store with GG Bridge tchotchkes and Ghirardelli chocolate? (FL's DtD already has a whole G store).
