Many other cities that are comparable in size to Mobile have much better shopping and recreation. Mobile's demographics are the reason upscale retailers will not come here. Any time I go to another city that is about the same size as Mobile, I realize what a crap hole this city is.

I would be interested in what those cities are if you want to complete your post.

Oh yeah, the woman that I work with love to travel to NOLA for Red Bottoms. And not to say we can support a Luoibbutton store but if Dillard 's or Belk carried them they would sale in this areas.

Louboutin footwear would most likely be carried in a specialty boutique like CK Collection in Fairhope.

I've heard that a specialty boutique near Spring Hill College carries a small limited selection of Louboutins.

Hmm. I don't see one business in this new development that I would even drive there to visit or shop at. VERY disappointing. It looks like another one of the many multiple chain shopping centers we have all over Mobile with the same repetitive businesses. And even the main stores are repetitive. How many sports stores can Mobile support for crying out loud?

Thought this new shopping center was supposed to be just that - a SHOPPING CENTER. WTH is a nails salon and a place to get your hair cut doing there? Not to mention a mattress store and two cell phone stores? Good grief, someone really screwed the pooch on this project.

Oh, did I forget to mention a tanning place too? This is a joke but it isn't funny. This new development is going to be a deserted flop with these kinds of tenants. It offers nothing new or exciting for the Mobile market and everyone will keep going across the bay to shop. What a disaster that line up is. Wow.
