[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Lyon Village Shopping Center (Italian Store, etc.) is also really, really nice now since the renovation.[/quote]

I guess it must have been even worse before the renovation, [b]but the Lyon Village Shopping Center is a plain-old strip-mall[/b], with a big parking lot in front and no walkable connection to the real Lyon Village neighborhood because of the high-traffic Lee Highway and said big parking lot. It is isolated between Spout Run, Lee Highway and 66 and looks like a 1950's suburban nightmare.

Hopefully this can be tore down soon and replaced with high density apartments with retail, like in the Clarendon and Courthouse areas.[/quote]

It's a nice strip mall with high-end shops, and it doesn't look bad at all. The renovation adds a contemporary flair to it. And in terms of size, it's like and old fashioned "park and shop," not the oversized strip malls you usually find in the suburbs.

Another plus is that it's on the bike trail, and a good pit stop for the cyclists. [/quote]
