Does anyone have an update on Palm Beach Plaza Mall? Is it open yet? What stores and restaurants are there?

Regards,

The mall was not open when we left the island this past Saturday.

They are making it more appealing to avoiding downtown altogether. If the parking situation downtown was better - it would be a lot more appealing.

IMOP downtown "overpriced" itself with all those stores we can't afford to shop in..

Yeah - we did some window shopping but didn't buy much down there. I did promise my wife a new watch from Little Switzerland on our next trip.

By the sounds of it, the Palm Beach Plaza is not going to be so cheap either.

IMOP the Renn. marketplace is a big missed opportunity. It they posistion that area right they could grab all the cruise people..it needs to be a fun place and a destination place. My ideas; live bands, bar hopping etc...( yah, in my dreams)

i hate to see the downtown shopping dying a slow death.
o'stad is such a nice place.

it has done the same as our downtowns here in the suburbs of the usa.
