So, as a Plaza-Midwood resident, I had been anticipating the opening of our store with much excitement.  The futuristic meets Art Deco exterior is eye catching and draws one inside.  But, that is where the charm stops.  The interior looks like another big box store.  For its size, I am not noting an increase in selection compared to the old store.  The parking is terrible, but I do understand that they only have so much space available.  There is an upstairs which I have not seen, but have been led to believe that it is a dining area.  The staff appear to be radiant and welcoming for the most part.  Aside from one cashier, who carded me when I was buying wine and then said, \"just kidding,\" the workers have been polite and helpful.  However, I do believe that the new store s a boon to our neighborhood.  And hopefully with time, I will begin to make fond memories the way I did with the original HT.
