Grandiose Arcade

[ewx]

The Grand Arcade opened today.

It's said to mostly contain fashion shops.

It's fairly big.

The predicted bikes didn't materialize, as the bike park was open in time, but someone did park their car there.

It's full of nice patterns.

I assume there were originally more balloons.

I went to have a look this evening, but of course it was mostly shut by then :/

It's said to mostly contain fashion shops.

Much like every other shopping centre in the known universe, then.

It is at least impressive big.

I might one of the rare girls or woman to be absolutely not interested in fashion and don't like shopping even if I had the money. My mum always forced me for clothes shopping. I always hated it. It is not just the problem that trousers and skirts rarely fit. It is just in general that I don't like to try on anything. Now she sents me lots of stuff. My cupboard is overloaded. I can't decide what to keep and what not because it is always useful for a certain season. Many fashion things I simply find impractical and silly for example anything with useless disturbing strings. I don't like the strings on some of my summer tops but I don't want to cut it off and might destroy everything. I saw a child in a nursery where I was temping with leather boots. She had too many strings on the side. She could easily trip over it.

I wonder if it deliberately echoes the strange, victorian-appearing outside but indoors place that's concealed behind the city council cashiers desk in Mandela House ... ?

It reminds me of a prison.
