Total Serious Happy Thread

A retail developer's poor business acumen is, at least temporarily, my gain.

There's a shopping center up the street that was built a couple years ago, ostensibly as a place for big-box furniture stores to congregate. Without going into too much detail, it's a stupidly awful location. It's been a revolving door of furniture stores in there since it opened, and I've literally never seen more than a dozen cars parked in its expansive lot.

Why is this my gain? Because they're getting desperate so they've gone hipster. Heavy facebook/twitter presence, a new shopping space that's kind of a hipster swap meet, weekend farmer's market, and (so far my favorite part) twice weekly lunch truck gatherings. Yay! Hipster fuel within biking distance from work!

Short Stop BBQ has some damned tasty sauce!
