Wasn't one announced for the Crossroads?

Wrong side of 132nd. Marshall's would be Montclair not Baker Square. The only fabric store I am aware of in the area is the Jo-Ann at Baker Square. There was a Hancock Fabrics next to Marshall's, but I think it closed a few years ago.

Is this the new Hy-Vee liquor store mentioned in a different thread?

According to public notices, it will be a "financial center". Not sure beyond that.

Last time I was in Dave and Busters the place looked like a tornado had gone through it. The bar area had spilled drinks all over the floor and bar top. The place seemed to be understaffed (surprise surprise), the food was "eh"... and the service took forever. The best part of the visit was we happened to wander in on a day where the games were 1/2 off so you could play stuff basically twice as long as usual.

I don't think it will survive, which sucks because it is a pretty cool venue. Although I think they should toss in a couple of bowling lanes.

Oh, and the clientele that seemed to be in on that weeknight was questionable (perhaps an added bonus of the 1/2 off games special?). Lots of teens running around, being loud and dumb.

I pin Dave & Busters as the Adult version of Chuck-E-Cheese.

nativeomahan wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 5:29 pm Yep, Jack Baker developed the center back around 1970. It housed the city’s largest Baker’s supermarket for many years. It seems odd that in recent years the center housed a Fresh Tyme grocery, and now an ALDI, while the nearest Baker’s is down the road in the Westwood Center,
