I just read a few days ago that Macedonia Commons is still expanding! Good news for those fans of Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Dots, Rue 21, Five Below (what’s this??) and a few others to be released. They join the already established Kohl’s and the like at Macedonia Commons. Unfortunately none are directly Ohio based but will be employing Ohioans in the long run.
Route 8′s construction is finally looking like it’s near complete, but the new construction begins on the closest shopping center. Years ago that was barely a question near the ski resorts where to go to either find food or lodging, but now there is quite the selection.
With the creation of store openings and new jobs President Obama will have much to talk about at his visit on Wednesday to Cleveland.

So this is kinda outta this world, not from Ohio but someone pointed it out to me. What do you think of it?

New Batgirl costume? Over styled? What if the model had a different color hair?
This treasure found here, Jeremy Scott Style Batwing Dress.

Business has been down the this quarter for Ohio based Abercrombie & Fitch and although some stores have already closed in the first quarter (which honestly I haven’t noticed in Northeastern Ohio) they say there will be more by the end of the year as leases begin to naturally run out. (article here)
Here is an article from Citybizlist New York that has excerpts from a conference call between analysts and Abercrombie & Fitch. From the excerpts it sounds like “C” malls will have their shops closed and the focus will be on “A” list malls that have higher sales volume, which makes sense.
I talked to the Abercrombie & Fitch and Summit Mall in Akron and the associates haven’t heard if there store will be closing as they consider themselves a “b” level malls versus a “c” level such as Chapel Hill in Akron. The associates I talked to had heard rumblings of store closing from other patrons but don’t fear their location as they have a high sales volume.
There really is no reason to miss any episodes of Project Runway this season – not only is the re-runs ran over and over but also the local viewing parties for those that don’t have cable or power over the remote. Hence is usually my case unfortunately when you live in a house of soccer players not much else is on the television.
Next viewing party is this Thursday – August 26 at Sushi Rock in Cleveland from 8-11pm – come out and enjoy a night of sushi and fashion!
