Don't know if this'll be a problem so much when the store ceases to be "new", but was definitely something drivers need to watch out for, now. Also - there's no area in the front of the store that I could see where drivers can drop off passengers or people can wait for a cab, no recessed lane or parking space in the front. I was waiting for a taxi and when he picked me up, he had to stop in the street, near the curb; something else drivers might want to watch out for. (shoppers have to go around the back of the store to get into the parking garage; I'm not a driver, but it looked like it was a bit of a hassle; a very small one lane roadway in back of the store, and there were delivery trucks blocking part of it, with traffic trying to go both ways. )</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460041937454_8768" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460041937454_8769" dir="ltr">Have fun shopping, but be careful out there! </div></div></body></html>
