[quote=Anonymous]When White Flint opened, it was HOT stuff.  Wow, we couldn't wait to go there.  It was a full day trip from Mount Vernon, going all the way to Rockville!  My grandmother was coming to town and she timed her trip around the opening of White Flint.  My sisters and I went with there our mom and grandmother.

Mom and our grandmother discovered the either Saks or Neimans, and we spent a lot of time there while they shopped for Saint John's outfits.  They each bought several and the sales lady in the couture section thought that she had died and landed in Heaven.

Then we had lunch at a little place that wasn't in the food court.  They used Perrier bottles for bud vases.  My mom and grandma thought that was just the cutest thing.  We all ordered Perrier with our lunches and I didn't like it because it was too bubbly.  It was a day I will remember fondly.

My grandmother was going on to her second home in Wisconsin after she visited us, and she was planning a party.  She wasn't sure if she could find Perrier there so we bought a full case from the restaurant.  We went home, emptied all the bottles and packed them very carefully so that she could take them with her to Wisconsin.  She carried the case on her lap on the airplane.  When she landed, she handed the case to the driver picking her up, and he DROPPED it in the middle of O'Hare.  My grandmother was quite sad that after all that effort she didn't have any Perrier bottles to use for bud vases, like we had seen at that little restaurant at the White Flint Mall.

In later years it got a little seedy and was sad.  But in its heyday, it was super cool and the place to be![/quote]
