This past week I had to be out at
Westport Plaza in Maryland Heights and I must admit, I just don't see the appeal of this place that others do. It's dated, ugly, sterile and just not really a unique or interesting place in my eyes. Anytime I've set foot on the grounds of Westport I feel like I'm taking a step backwards into the worst of 70s/80s design. Blech. The architecture is sort of contrived, and there are way too many sports bars/eateries!
With all that said, the place was busy. I guess people in the county have to have places to eat too. I felt a bit out of place, the crowd was not my type of people. I don't know, I just hate the place, but apparently I'm the only one.
I just can't imagine anyone calling up a friend or significant other and saying "Hey, let's hit Westport!"
Yuck.

I have to agree. I met someone there for drinks once and it kinda reminded me of meeting someone at their job. The whole place has a corporate campus sorta feel to it. Way too many dudes in ties.
