A lot of stores have closed at west farms too. I was just there last weekend.

Oh man, that’s a bummer; it’s always been a great mall. Love that we have a Lego store in the Hartford area.

As he should! Don’t currently live in CT but it will always be home. Just today, drove 3 hours to the closest Lego store!

It’s been a solid 25 years since I’ve been to Disney World. We plan to go within the next 1-3 years though!

Well it’s in downtown Disney and it’s worth the trip. Awesome selection.

A lot of stores have closed at Westfarms, but they have been consistently filling up the vacant stores. One of the biggest losses was Lord & Taylor because that was an anchor store.

Wait which ones? Oh man. When I was last there a few months ago only the old Lord & Taylor was empty. There were a couple coming soon space though, like Abercrombie returning after leaving 7 years ago.

Actually I just realized I was talking about the Crystal mall not westfarms. My bad.

Ah that makes sense, I haven’t been down there in awhile but I heard all the anchors are gone. Unless you count target. Doesn’t seem Like it has long left.

The ones that come to my mind are Lord & Taylor and one of the eye brow threading places, Brow Art 23. For me, everything else is solid. WestFarms has also recently opened a number of stores, so they are doing well (at least on the surface).
