    It apparently was but I bet there hasnt been one person that has walked from Balliets to the southern end and back. Squares and plazas are much better walking and shopping enviroments, not some meandering, snake of a shopping center.

    And Id like to know how Anthro is doing. Anytime Im at Whole Foods I dont see many shoppers there, however that is usually later in the evening. Anyone ever notice it during the day or afternoon? Much activity at ANthro then? They are kind of on a island by themslelves right now with no other leases in the building north of them.

    I hear Anthro is doing well. I believe, "better than expected" was the phrase I was told. In the Nichols Hills area, most shoppers are out before 5, because all the other stores close at 5. So, I would expect weekends and daytime is when they're busiest. It probably would help if there were more adjacent stores, but they probably get some spillover business from Whole Foods as well.
