Well, it seems that the charming Fig Garden Village in Fresno has been sold. As customers, we don't really "care" who owns Fig Garden as much as "What's in Fig Garden?".
I guess we'll start to see some demolition in the next couple of months. The Bulldog Brewing Company, the Fig Garden Cinema and finally, the Gottschalks building will all be demolished to make way for new retail stores.
It's not known yet what new retail stores will be at Fig Garden but it's been reported that there will be 15 to 20 new stores.
I wonder if I can submit my wish list for Fig Garden:
- Crate and Barrel or Pottery Barn
- The Container Store
- Illuminations
- Nordstroms (are we aiming too high?)
- a theatre dedicated to small budget, independent and foreign movies
- Borders or Barnes and Noble (we could use another one or two of these in the city)
We are not asking for too much, are we?
