thornleigh marketplace officially opened today at 8am.
phil and i walked around to be two of the first to experience it. and walk around we did. the entrance on the comenarra was still deemed unsafe as construction was continuing. we battled our way through barriers, dirt and tape to use the carpark entrance instead.
there are fun travelators. that's a highlight. many unopened shops. that's just funny.
there was a string trio playing out the front of woolies. maybe they couldn't afford a quartet.
there were already a number of people in the supermarket. and about 4 million woolworths employees. i received a red carnation as we walked in and a free map of the store. phil got a free map. we ran into jason who was carrying some croissants. he looked quite the baker. i bought some stuff for work, and received a free green woolies bag. ooh la la.
then phil and i walked to maccas for some coffee coz there was no coffee shop. we used the bellevue exit. they've done some landscaping in bellevue - woodchips and plants. i personally think it would have been more wise to widen the road. but you live and learn. i hope there aren't any major traffic accidents along that street.
so there you have it. a woolies right around the corner. awesome. (if only it was a coles)
