I've never posted mall directories, but as of now, the Forever 21 Space is becoming an Urban Planet, and the Jordan's Furniture logo was updated (store signage still retains the legacy logo)!

Wow, this wasn’t even close. Hobby Lobby is the first store out in a landslide. Top comment gets eliminated next.

Burt's Bees partnered with Grillo's Pickles to release a Fresh Cucumber Dill lip balm, launching April 25 as a Walmart exclusive. The limited-edition product combines Burt's signature beeswax formula with a cucumber-forward, briny flavor profile and hints of sweet melon. Grillo's mascot Sam Sam appears on the packaging. This follows e.l.f. Beauty's February launch of a pickle-flavored 'Big Dill' lip balm with shea butter, mango butter, and hyaluronic acid. Two major beauty brands releasing pickle-inspired lip products within two months confirms that the food-to-beauty crossover has moved from novelty to deliberate category strategy.

Saw a clip yesterday that I can't stop thinking about. It listed what world leaders did before they ran countries. I went down a rabbit hole and pulled the entrepreneur version. Every name below is someone running or exiting a company you've heard of. 1. Jan Koum (WhatsApp) was on food stamps and swept floors at a grocery store as a teenager. 2. Dietrich Mateschitz (Red Bull) marketed toothpaste across Europe and Asia until he was 40. 3. Brian Chesky (Airbnb) sold novelty cereal boxes to keep Airbnb alive. 4. Howard Schultz (Starbucks) grew up in Brooklyn public housing and sold blood in college to pay tuition. 5. Do Won Chang (Forever 21) pumped gas and worked as a janitor in LA,...

Took perhaps a final visit to Crystal Mall before it's upcoming closure on 3/31. There were other people walking around taking photos and video as well. Some final documentation of it's final days. Of what soon will be what once was. Fortunately, Crystal Mall will get a great second life as offices and training / classroom space for Electric Boat, one of the largest employers and economic contributors in southeastern Connecticut. Work on repurposing the space is set to begin the middle of this year.

Sadly Forever 21 is officially gone now :( But hey Sears is still there 😃

As much as the world is burning right now, we did have a PEAK childhood and teenage years. Even our young adulthood was pretty fun, minus the 2008 recession. Beer was cheap and we could get a whole new fit at Forever 21 for $40. I remember running around with neighborhood kids on our bikes. In high school, we were bombing around in beater cars with the radio cranked up as teens, on our way to drink Keystone Light in a cornfield or the woods with our friends. When I was in college, with enough roommates and a job where you could take the expired food home, you could actually afford to pay rent AND party a bit on the weekends. We hung out, in person, with no fear of being filmed when we did ...

This is not snark towards any of the girls but my thoughts on the Dream Academy approach to making a girl group. Watching the Netflix show there's obviously a really significant contrast in the eliminations when the girls are being evaluated versus fan voting. I completely understand the concept of survival shows and fan voting but it was honestly frustrating to watch the girls go from being judged based on skill, effort and talent to being voted out based on appearance, perception and nationality. But this was very intentional from the company, creating a girl group with all the strongest contestants couldn't guarantee their success but creating a girl group based on which contest...
