Great article and photos. I really like the later phrase Simon Mall Properties did with this one than the beginning where it was plain and vision-lacking plus lack of attention to little details such as making it more pedestrian friendly.
I want to make a statement about Pollo Tropical. That place is losing its quality in food like bunch of flies dropping FAST. I have ate over 10 times in the past 3 months, and each dish I usually order just worse one visit after another visit.
The Pollo Tropicial's location in the Town Center is one of the worst kind of development you can possibly pull off because of the how hard to access to the location (You have to turn in after the red light or turn right way before the restaurant to get inside the zone, THEN drive through another restaurant or business to get there - CVS and Zaxby's) AND how limited the parking are considering the capacity the restaurant is operating on.
Seriously, there are so much tiny dysfunctional developments going on in the SJ Town Center that I would not be surprised to see a huge vacuum pulled on the Town Center that would ultimately bring the end of the Town Center. I would go further and say that the indoor malls will come back and be popular again.
History repeats itself, always.
Therefore, I will be sipping my sweet tea with extra lemon and ice in a mason jar and sit back to watch this continuing development folding out.
Good day,
