Thanks for posting. I'm about a week behind on my newspapers.

We were in KB Toys on Friday and there's not much left. There are quite a few PS2 games, though, and lots of Hannah Montana stuff. Everything is at least 60% off now. We were shopping for a friend of my daughter's, and got a really big stuffed bear (so soft!!) for $8 (normally $20).

I have a friend who is in the mall walking program. She has asthma and said whenever she gets within two stores of Hollister's her asthma kicks in. I have noticed some sort of "aroma" (perfume? incense?) around the store. I've also noticed it in other malls near the Abecrombie and Fitch stores. My friend registered an "air pollution" complaint with the mall office. I get headaches from perfumes, but so far I haven't been around it long enough for it to be an issue.

I was wondering about Staples at MM since I had heard recently that they're having financial troubles too. Hopefully they'll still come. I don't go often, mainly because Lewisburg isn't in my "favorite places to shop" category, but Staples often has things I need and can't get elsewhere.

I'll be really glad when Michael's opens, especially since Wal-Mart pretty much eliminated their craft section.

Oh, and also at the mall, I was really sad to see Mancino's close. They were a favorite of ours when we wanted "real" pizza. I'm not much on Chinese food. Where is the Golden Wok going to be located?

I'm not sure where Golden Wok will be but the Mancino's location would work nicely. I love Chinese but I will miss Mancino's
