I just learned from Metroblogging Twin Cities that Victoria's Secret will be taking over the space formerly occupied by The Gap on Hennepin and Lake in Uptown. NooOOOooo! What a wasted opportunity! Why do we need Victoria's Secret in Uptown when you can find it in every bleeding shopping mall in the country? So what if it's "the only non-mall Victoria’s Secret in the state and one of a few in the country designed to test a store concept based on the underwear mogul’s Pink sub-brand"? Are people really going to come Uptown for that? According to the Southwest Journal article, "Uptown Association member and area resident Thatcher Imboden said the Victoria’s Secret would be a better fit for the community than the Gap was and he thinks it will be used. 'Everybody needs underwear,' he said." That's what Target is for, buddy! With an attitude like yours, Uptown will soon be just another burbclave.
