Yesterday was the official opening of the new Target at the Atlantic Terminal Mall (although Buzz McKinnon apparently got in there Saturday somehow). I checked it out, intending to exhaustively document the experience in photographs to share with you people not lucky enough to live down the street from a big national-chain department store. I started off well enough, but after I saw the guys on stilts, the balloon-animal artists, and the sheer volume of mesmerized Sunday shoppers, I lost my desire to capture the moment and then spent a good half hour just trying to get out of the damn place. I'll go back when when there's less people there.

Lots of balloons, lots of people, but I couldn't find a bike rack anywhere.

Every mall needs one, I guess. I'm more interested in the Guitar Center that will open soon.

All I'm saying is they better have free WiFi

Weirdos on stilts, mimes, balloon animals, and way too many slow-moving people

I'm not sure if this was such a good idea considering the number of small children running around

Across the street, we are reminded that not every Ratner plan is a good idea
