Even using the maps on the kiosks, it was hard to figure out how to get out of there – the escalators don’t line up, so getting from one floor to another is a challenge, the elevators to the garage are hard to find. There was no obvious path to the exit on to M street, etc.

Great DMV, though.

that said, its a gorgeous gorgeous space. the wood floor is super cool. the design is nice. i like the dmv there. and the walking store or comfort shoes or whatever that shoe store is. and my wife loves anthropology. i have no idea what else is there.

the food court is a pretty dead idea to me. a cool affordable tavern down on that lower floor would vastly improve the image if the place to a consumer thats under 50 years old.

better signage as to whats inside.
better signage from the parking garages
betters signage in general.
exploring streets and alleys is great fun. exploring a mall, not fun. clarity of whats there is vital.

better lighting.
improve your website georgetown park. even the store directory doesnt link to the shops website. wtf?
visitor info? what are you a vacation destination? please.

and yeah, an anchor store. wasnt that going to happen? macy’s if i remember?

anyway georgetown park, i know your bread and butter is old people, but they’re dying. get some advice from the younger crowd that are deeply loyal to dc. we really do want our stores and spaces to succeed. but they need to offer us something, and we need to know about it.

btw, a bike sharing station or bike racks would be a good idea too.

and what was the building before it was georgetown park? i assume something industrial and relevant to the canal. yeah? we like to know that kind of stuff. makes us feel solid. and connected.

Moving to Georgetown Mall? Terrible move. She’ll be out of business in a month.
