I have never, ever, EVER been to Penn Square, even in the heights of the Christmas season and not seen available spaces in the parking garage. The people parking on the grass are lazy and uncivilized, and I wish the mall would arrange to have someone start ticketing them.
Seems to me the problem could be fixed if the mall would plant some hedges or other kinds of landscaping along the edge of the lots.
Hey thank you, I appreciate it!
Well, if it wasn't for the fact there is literally nothing you can or will do about it and the other hundreds of people that park there; and you understand this and it obviously irritates you, so you have nothing else to do but try and troll me to get me mad, but it's all good amigo!
I second this; I have gone to Penn Square a few times at the height of the Christmas rush, even with all the surface parking taken along NW Expressway and people parked all throughout the grass from that entrance to the side, there are still a ton of parking spaces left in the garage on the middle and top layers.
The only time I have even seen the middle and bottom even close to full is when a large hail storm is coming in.
I have seen several trucks ticketed and others towed for parking on the grass. And it always made me smile. It has always been when there is a lot of parking available, not like the weekend after Thanksgiving or anything. Whenever we go to PSM, we usually come north on Penn, turn right just before Cheesecake Factory and try to park in front of Pottery Barn. If nothing over there is open, we immediately go to the sea of parking north of Macy's. Nine times out of ten, we will see trucks parked on the grass facing Penn and about 30 cars parked north of Macy's. It's just pure laziness and I tell the customer service people at PSM every time I go in there and people are parked there.
I looked at an old article about the remodel and it said it was going to be a remodel of all the mall entrances (not the store direct entrances) and the common areas. So the food court has been remodeled, most of the bathrooms, the west entrance by Forever 21, the two south entrances (Mr. Ooley's and the Mexican restaurant) and I think that is about it. Was there a remodel of the NE entrance by the movie theatre, the one by Pottery Barn or the other one just south of Macy's? Are those not considered main entrances? Maybe the ones that are most visible to the public?
I can confirm the entrance by JC Penneys and AMC Theater are not remodeled. I held a private event at the theater just a few days ago, although I can say the new remodel of the theater is first class.
Especially those chairs...
I haven't been to the new AMC at PSM. What makes it so great?
They just really did a nice job with the remodel and used really good materials. The seats recline back, the soda machines are pretty cool, the isles are very wide(more comfort), the bathrooms are top notch etc.
My only beef(and I mean that literally) is they are almost always out of hot dogs when I go there. I've been there around 15 times now and I always ask for a hot dog and I've only been able to get them about 5 times.
Some of these have been posted, but I'll post them again.
Next time I go, I'll take a bunch of pics
Those seats are freaking awesome. I took the toddler and the wife to see Despicable Me 2. Most comfy movie experience ever. I love how seats fully recline and you get to pick your seats when you get your ticket. There is so much space between the rows you hardly notice the other people around you. Warren is still my favorite, AMC Penn Square is gnats hair behind Warren.
After some research, I updated the article at the top of this thread to reflect the exact dates the mall opened and the various phases of expansion.
Found this really great map/directory from opening day, March 3, 1960:
