In search of take-out

Yesterday I honestly did not find anything I could consider delightful. And I looked, because a challenge is a challenge! But I can't let two days go without a post, so I will tell you about the Koreana Plaza.

It started as a little international market, taking over retail space in a nearly-deserted shopping center. Six or seven years (?) later, they've doubled their space and put in a food court, bakery, liquor store, beauty salon, Korean BBQ, and I don't know what else. I stopped in tonight because I knew I would be on my own for dinner and suddenly craved bibimbop. The place was packed with families shopping and also eating together in the food court. It turns out on Friday nights, they also sponsor a wine-tasting booth. Well, I was a singleton, wasn't I? So I paid a dollar and tried blue champagne before I picked up my dinner. What a nice place to hang out.

It's nice when shopping centers like that pick up steam and become something better than the ubiquitous mall or strip mall. Or worse yet, a deserted strip mall. So many times, it's the reverse that happens. It sounds like a nice place to hang out.
