South Shore Plaza

Historical artifacts: Still at least two Brigham's open

Both at the South Shore Plaza, at least as of a couple hours ago. Both are on the first floor; one's a full-service restaurant, the other's a smaller ice-cream only place. Both now only take cash.

The candy store who stole Halloween

Jason reports that yesterday, the South Shore Plaza held a trick-or-treat thing for little kids and that everybody seemed to be participating except for the Godiva chocolate store - which he discovered when he was in there and some kids came in and went "trick or treat!" and the clerk told them they weren't participating:

... At first, I found it funny and ironic, but then I realized how idiotic and stupid the folks from Godiva were. Instead of being the store that handed out the best trick-or-treating candy in the mall - a great PR move with nominal costs - they instead became the fancy candy store that refused to give away candy to kids on Halloween.

When they had the opportunity to give candy to both the kids AND their parents - the ones with the wallets and pocketbooks who will soon be searching for holidays gifts - they created an entirely memorable yet unfavorable experience. ...

Lemme in!

Wahhh!!!

The sign on the gate of the Fye store at the South Shore Plaza today said "Closed due to flood," which left some people disbelieving and disconsolate, apparently.

North Shore girl wonders why David Beckham ate at the South Shore Plaza

Suzie can't figure out why gazillionaire wounded soccer player Beckham chose to eat at the Cheesecake Factory at the Braintree mall:

... The South Shore Plaza? You're so freaking close to Boston; just be chauffeured in a bit more, explore our city, and at least go to the Cheesecake Factory in the Prudential, if your craving for it is really that big. I mean, there's also an Applebees in the Pru, so that's always another option. Joking.

Maybe Becks just likes the classiness of the South Shore ladies with their cute South Shore accents. ...

Thomas Hobbes would have loved the South Shore Plaza

Sarah must have missed the circular about "All against All" Day at the mall, because when she went yesterday, it was one long struggle of kill or be killed. One example:

... [T]hen there was the woman who hit me with her bag because I had the nerve to walk quickly past her slow-moving ass. I mean literally said something along the lines of "No you don't!" and HIT me with her bag. I only hope there was something fragile was in it. ...
