As we were getting started with our podcast at The Mall
yesterday, an elderly lady stopped to examine our show banner as she passed by.
At this point we already had our headphones on so we just nodded at her when
she then turned to consider us.
The banner did not provide enough information for her. “What
is this?” she asked.
Paul was closest to her. He took off his headset. “It’s a
podcast about local issues,” he explained.
“But why are you here?” she wanted to know.
I wanted to say “because we got thrown out of the coffee
shop.”
It was good to be back.
After taking an extended summer break we returned to The
Mall yesterday afternoon for the 70th episode of “and then there’s that…”. Appropriately enough
our guest was Michelle Jose, the Marketing Manager for the Mall. She’s got alot of things going on in her world right now, beginning next month with the
opening of the SA Elite store. This will be the first east coast store for the
new retail concept from The Sports Authority. We also talked about the plans to
open up the LL Bean plaza with new retail and the unlikelihood that there will ever
be another flash mob in The Mall.
Not inside perhaps but maybe with this new outdoor plaza…
It was a big local news week too. We talked about WholeFoods, Allen Dyer, gambling, the general plan, Clarksville , BGE, and even our
old coffee shop.
It’s been a long time since we started in Lakeside
back in 2009. We’ve been in The Mall since November of 2010.
Michelle said The Mall likes us there. We like it there too
and that’s why we’re there.
So there.
...and you can listen to the 70th episode of “and then there’s
that…” here.
