They are building a hotal *AT* the MALL!!!!

[underpants]

I went by Dick's Sporting Goods yesterday and saw some construction (huge crane) and had to see what they were adding on to our super spiffy new mall...a HOTEL?!??! Oh.MY.GOD!

This is the only thing I could find on it-love the comment.

You’ve probably seen that huge crane overshadowing Short Pump Town Center (on the back side adjacent to Dick’s Sporting Goods) for a week or two now and might have wondered what’s going on. I did a little digging and found out that a six-story Hotel Sierra is being constructed. I guess mall management wasn’t lying when they said this is a regional mall that draws from all over the state; so much so that people will stay overnight after shopping. It seems a little out of place, but looks very nice architecturally. Kudos to the construction crews for starting work the week before Christmas, by the way. Half of the back entrance parking is blocked off by concrete barricades and chain-link fencing and the already overflowing parking lot that time of year was twice as horrendous. You’d think they’d just wait until around now, after holiday traffic has subsided.

Hotel Sierra (who recently changed their name from Sierra Suites to their current one) is a small chain of hotels priding themselves on “comfortable luxury, inspired design, and fresh service.” The hotel is scheduled to open in Spring 2009. I’ll be interested to see how they do at the mall.

3. I moved here in 1994

and Walmart was the ONLY thing in Short Pump ...other than the gas station.

Yes I went to Walmart-the guy took one look at me and said "You must live in the Fan" I asked how he could know that and he said that only "Fan people" came out there in the middle of the night (it was 2AM) I look around yep a couple with purple hair, clearly an art student, and two other people who had that Fan layer of filth on them

:evilgrin:
