BIRMINGHAM'S CHANGING FACE: Anthropologie to make a move to Somerset by fall
I'm just sorry Lauren had to find out from the newspaper, it's so impersonal. Time to start planning the vigil...

This makes me so angry! Not because of the way I found out, although Erica told me weeks ago, but because it takes commerce out of downtown. For those of you not from Michigan, Somerset Mall, or "The Somerset Collection" as the upity call it, is a very large, upscale mall that attracts thousands of shopers, and takes them away from downtowns. Birmingham is a wonderful city with shopping, restaurants, bars and theaters. I just hate to see such an important retail outlet leave in our area leave. The mall is just 2 miles away or less, but still, I want a thriving downtown!

Seriously, we should do the candlelight thing. I'll get going on the permits.
Here, I just sent this to service@anthropologie.com. Let 'em know what you think!
My wife really enjoys shopping at your downtown Birmingham (MI) store, and we tend to patronize the mall far less than we do local businesses. I hope you'll take the preferences of the shoppers at this store into account when deciding to make this move.
Sincerely,
That's really a bummer...we have a great downtown shopping area, but it is hard to compete when everything in the 'burbs is all in one nice, neat building.
Hope they take into consideration people like you!
