I flew in once to play golf with a client. The airport in Augusta is sad. 6 gates total, of which five are simply a door out of the building to the tarmac.....only one had a jetway bridge and it was just a little stub stuck onto the corner of the building.
About the mall comments, I'm still laughing that anyone would call H&M "upscale". H&M is about trendy and disposable clothing. Buy a pair of pants for 15.99, wear them to a club and then who cares if they get drinks spilled on them or cigarette burns. Just trash them. Trendy and disposable do not equal upscale in any way.
I don't think you've been to many malls in the Southeast.
Not at all, not at all, not at all. Just no.
you are right, i don't go in malls much. but it def. had more traffic in the interior of the mall than any other mall in the southeast outside of maybe some up in the maryland no.va area. that I have seen.
people seemed to be there to socialize to, not just shop.
i don't care enuf about malls to talk about this furthur. LOL

I agree. H&M is even in Huntsville and Winston-Salem...yawn. They remind of Forever 21. I could care less if Greenville ever gets one.

I'm sorry, because I obviously meant the most upscale mall outside of metro Atlanta... I think everybody knows the Augusta mall is nowhere in the same ballpark with Lenox or Phipps... Augusta mall is now on par with Perimeter, North Point, and the Mall of GA in metro Atlanta.

How's the food court, Haywood mall is terrible considering the stores that are out there.
The Forever 21 in the Augusta mall is two stories...

I have a feeling Greenville will get one sooner than later. They are going in at Carolina Place and Northlake in Charlotte. (Funny they chose those over Southpark if they were so upscale).
I actually do really like H&M. They have fairly well designed clothing (but mediocre construction quality) for competitive prices. Similar to Urban Outfitters on the male side of the styles in that store which is right up my alley. I usually go to H&M when I am in Raleigh and they have some great deals on men's clothing in my style.
However, I still do not consider them "upscale."
I know Anthropologie doesn't carry men's clothes, so I'll switch to women's clothes for a second as a comparison.
In terms of "upscale" or quality, I will make the comparison among a few stores that share at least a similar aesthetic or a similar support-base but with varying quality and price.
H&M -> Urban Outfitters -> Anthropologie from least "upscale" to most.
I don't think anyone would ever argue anything about the Haywood mall being better than anything. It's a tiny mall. I moved here from Orlando where there were 5+ malls within a 15-20 minute drive and all of them were significantly larger/more upscale than the Haywood mall.
Apples to Oranges . Orlando can support them. Much larger city not even to mention the tourists from all over the world that visit one of the worlds largest if not the largest playground.
H&M is not "upscale". The company faced scrutiny recently in the wake of avoidable major factory disasters in Bangladesh. H&M is the largest buyer of clothing made in Bangladesh, the nation with the world's lowest minimum wage—$38 a month.
