What about it?

 

[Ridgepole]

Wow! Nobody went. Must be not so much. Or no free tickets

Good grief. You just asked the question earlier. Give people some time to answer.

Got a "what about it"

 

[Nick]

Dude, what is it with you being snarky in every thread? EVE is an upcharge event that’s fairly expensive. It sells out. Just because none of us went doesn’t mean “no one went”.

 

[Ridgepole]

Ah. Thought somebody may have gone. Misjudged . Kind of knew it was an upcharge. Like lunch for four at Finnegins? Per person of course.

Did a quick glance today.

Island Clothing discounts still 50-70% and there's an obvious decrease in stock. Fossil still running sales, too. I didn't notice anything by PIQ.

At least you had a good excuse to cut through.

Half of Quick Flight, Island, Fresh, and Fossil makes sense.

I'm guessing Billabong/Fossil/etc get a lot more business than I thought? I always thought they seemed empty.

Hoping someone can assist with a debate I am having with friend, I swear that space now occupied by Bubba's on City walk was an arcade before Bubba's this may have been 20 years ago, am I correct?

Edit: I think it was always a restaurant. I thought it was Motown Cafe but that's where Red Coconut is now. I'll try and find the picture of that space before Bubba.

 

[NickC]

Yup, it was the Decades Cafe Arcade during the last few years of its life. Initially it was the very large Motown Cafe. Eventually they converted the bottom level into an arcade and the top floors remained the dining and bar portions.

I've never been to that building but is the Red Coconut lounge and Bubba Gump one shared building? I found a city walk map from 2003 and it doesn't show the bubba Gump building at all.

Man do NBA City and Nascar make me feel like I'm 11 again.

 

[gbird]

Thanks all, confirms I am not going mad in my middle age!

Yeah, initially when it was Motown it was all one large venue. It's been divided up into separate spaces over the years.

Thanks for clarifying! I found a picture of the building before it became Bubba Gump.

I couldn't upload it directly so I'm linking to it.
