Afraid you'll catch a case of the "look goods"? Don't worry, many middle-aged and older men share this phobia. You're not alone. There is help. Hire PepsiFree as your personal shopper today.
There were lots of Brett Wilson style shirts for middle aged guys hitting those mid life crises

That's the beauty of it. I love that style of building. I really hate big giant box warehouse stores like everything else we have. I prefer dense urban city stuff like New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, etc. I'm more or less gushing at the design of the place rather than any of the product. I don't know if I would buy anything there.

I can't believe they removed that staircase. Are the old timey elevators gone too?

Yep, looks like they are ripped out and replaced with 2 smaller sets of modern ones so the store has it's own elevators and the Lancaster offices have a new one.

Place is dead to me for getting rid of the Unicorn. Sure they moved across the street, but it isn't the same.

Like its namesake, near the end, anything good about that place existed only in folklore and imagination.

My last supper there tasted like freezer burnt dirt, and when I brought it up with the server, she shrugged and said "I'm not surprised", took it off of the bill, and carried on with her other tables.

Even the nostalgia of having my first legal drink there and enjoying the odd Irish Rovers song wasn't enough to save it for me. Bring on the overpriced department store!

Look forward to going. In general I prefer The Core to any other mall by a wide margin.
