Time for another report from More Places To Buy Towels a.k.a. the mall.

Intercity Transit is now crammed in against one wall of the J.C. Penney's building, a lot less room. The area doesn't look safe to me for bus riders. Crosswalks are not marked out, the area looks like you best arrive by helicopter directly into the bus zone.

Inside the mall are several new features, including banners that advertise "kiddie kruzzers". Tables in food court area are resurfaced in gray and red with an enigmatic design. Text reads "creatable media" with an odd graphic of a single eye ball on a tripod. The eye ball either has lashes or is glowing, and the pupil is rolled up.

Prior to coffee, I thought this design meant that the tables were now super laptop computers, but I was unable to find the right button to push. After coffee I figured out that most likely the table tops will eventually be filled with ad inserts.

Construction continues, with lots of rumbling and beeping. The entire skyline has changed and the place smells like newly chopped trees.
