That new shopping mall ...
I just got back from visiting that new shopping mall. (see current location for where exactly it is ...).
It was pretty disappointing to be honest. Which is not to say that it won't be a success. I guess its location is pretty good, once the new B207 is finished. And everywhere around it, new houses are being built so it'll be in the middle of a new district.
But it doesn't have anything unique. Sure, the supermarket is open until midnight, but then again the one I can see out the window is open until 10pm, and if I ever wanted to go shopping at night, it'd be past midnight, so no use there.
It's got a Subway which is nice. It's a little closer to my home than the other ones we've got in Lübeck, but I don't think it stays open all night, so I can't go snack shopping there after work either.
And the GameStop is a joke. When you step in you have to be careful not to step out the other end, it's that small. My living room is bigger than that. It also seemed that they didn't really offer anything other than the latest titles for PC and consoles. If I wanted to shop at a place with a crappy product range, I'd just go to the local Saturn ...
The roof of the building has been made into a parking lot. That's a good thing I guess, except of course that I biked there ... Anyway, parking currently is free there, so that's a good thing. I checked out the parking deck to see if there was a nice view to take pictures, but there isn't, really. You can see the church towers, and with nice weather and a decent zoom you might be able to make something of it, but I sure can't with my little digicam (and my guess is that at most two years from now the view will be totally cluttered). And the edges of the platform are made in such a way that I can't even use my mini tripod on them. ):
