Westgate a failure?

We were lazy tonight and decided to go to Little Saigon for dinner. Not much to say...it was great, as always.

After dinner, I suggested going to Westgate City Center for an after-dinner walk. Patty commented/complained that there is "nothing there", but I decided to go there anyways.

In my opinion, this place seems like a complete retail failure. I understand it's only partially complete but what's currently there isn't at all interesting. If there isn't a sporting event or concert (at Jobing.com Arena or University of Phoenix Stadium), this place is a ghost town. Except for Yard House, I have no idea how the current restaurants and retail stores are surviving.

- minimal people walking around
- retail stores - pretty much empty
- Coffee Plantation - completely empty
- AMC Theaters - looked dead inside and nobody outside

"Entertainment Destination"? We'll see...

Preparing for the Super Bowl

We drove by University of Phoenix Stadium yesterday and it looks like they are busy setting up (what I'm guessing are) corporate/media/activity tents for the Super Bowl. Here are some pics:
