Rochester is for Lovers!! ( of things)
Well well, another day back in the ol turf of Shelby twp....but guess what?? THERE'S NOTHING TO DO! Now that's a big surprise! I have come to a conclusion that I think I spend the majority of my life hopping from store to store and restaurant to restaurant. It's really depressing. As soon as I leave one its -- "On to the next stimulus!!"
That pretty much sums up my day at the Parisian Mall in Rochester. For anyone who hasn't been there yet, it's basically this less-than-a-mile strip of stores that is more upscale than a plaza, but somehow jenkier than the outdoor "San Diego" Mall look that I think they were aiming for. Maybe I'm just jaded because I don't like Bath and Body Works and the Candle Barn or whatever the hell it is.
This mall may be aethstetically pleasing, however, the stores really don't catch your eye. Why? Because I could have gone to Lakeside Mall to shop at Claire's Boutique rather than drive 7 extra miles to get run over by TrailBlazers that don't obey the pedestrian stop signs. Get ready Metro Detroit! We're gonna do some walking!
I think that the highlight out of this trip wasn't just Kelly Clarkston pounding in my ears while trying to squeeze into a pair of GAP pants that the woman forcefully kept giving me a "thumbs up" about, but the outdoor speakers blaring "Everybody Walk the Dinosaur" while I was getting drenched in the rain while refusing to subject myself to Hollister which my sister insisted on staying 45 muinutes in.
( Hey English major, how about you cut down your sentence?)
Anyway, I left the mall realizing that it really wasn't all of those things or Talbots 70 dollar pants that I was wanting, but love in disguise. And then a bell rang, and an angel got its wings.
Okay, I am going to Audrey Loves Coffee in Grosse Pointe with my dad, this should be an interesting trip. Also, it will make me feel really generic in my Ford Focus wannabe Volkswagen Golf.
