Not only are the hours great, but they are not annoyingly officious like some other ones around here. I am from NYC, (Bronx) and moved to MD in the 80's, and to the White Flint area in the 90's. I raised a son who is now 18 on Zany Brainy and White Flint Mall. I agree that malls are mismanaged for whatever reasons. I always thought that the space at White Flint could serve the community better. Add some shops that people could actually USE. A drug store, a hardware store, a larger toy store, more arts offerings...etc etc. I think that an enclosed space can be a positive, but the people would have to embrace it. Maybe I am expecting a Mall Valhalla, and I probably don't belong in the suburbs. A 'mixed use' development is going to be just another reason for getting into your car to drive to a place to find everyday needs, as I highly doubt the new retailers are going to offer services like shoe repair, like White Flint did. It is not going to be real. Man oh man, I can go on and on about this stuff. And as far as making this area walkable, I will believe it when I see it. Already I see crosswalks that are in favor of cars, and not pedestrians. I do think Rockville Town Center is kinda nice with the library and all, but there needs to be a post office closer in, and some other basic offerings. The PO is a'Main Street' staple. And we all know what happened in Bethesda with that one.
