It was actually quite neat! And I think GPM could do something similar and work out.<br /><br />- Asian Anon :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-12704477565278186862013-01-16T13:31:19.006-05:002013-01-16T13:31:19.006-05:00@Unknown RE: Northeast Plaza,

I too was unimpressed with the G Mart / Mercado del Pueblo re-boot.<br /><br />I remember when that plaza had Drug Emporium, Big Lots, Movie Gallery, J.C. Penney, Mars Music and the movie theater... used to be nice. I hope they plans include trying to add more national brands.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment and for reading the blog.

Marshalls on the other hand carries higher end goods, especially in their Buckhead, Brookhaven and Dunwoody stores. Burlington, not sure myself, I would have thought they would be perfect. They did last quite some time.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments and for reading the blog.Atlantan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06115362060612910966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-34818728739765294852013-01-16T11:58:27.823-05:002013-01-16T11:58:27.823-05:00What is going on down the street at Northeast Plaz...What is going on down the street at Northeast Plaza? They have signs saying (please pardon our dust while we create a better shopping experience,) but there doesn't seem to be anything going on their. And 'G' mart was a huge disappointment. They changed the name to Mercado de Pueblo. I was hoping it would be something more like "h" mart.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057866115106612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-3578983331586261542013-01-15T15:14:01.798-05:002013-01-15T15:14:01.798-05:00What makes Ross think that they'll survive whe...What makes Ross think that they'll survive when Marshalls and Burlington Coat Factory did not?

I would think the rent would be too high for Mom and Pop businesses, as most Asian ones are. And I don’t know if Asians here would cruise a mall, as there might be a cultural impediment to that. However, a hybrid, with both Asian and Hispanic stores (both cultures are heavy in the area), plus making the entire second floor and/or empty department store spaces into housing (and Gwinnett letting MARTA run trains up the power line right of way) could work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-70241704252010111822013-01-15T11:49:28.365-05:002013-01-15T11:49:28.365-05:00@Carl,
