Nice place
South Bay. I love the gigantic, windswept parking lot, urban vibe, and attitude.
Sarcasm off.
Don't forget the opportunity
Don't forget the opportunity to wait an hour for a chance to dine at Olive Garden.
Urban Vibe?
Explain please? Are you using a code word there?
You can't say urban vibe?
Can you say country vibe when you're out in the country?
I think I need to see the manual. You know. The Overreacting PC Manual?
I just saw a crow fly by. I'm afraid if I tell you what color it was you'll ask me what I really meant,

Sigh...again, Cappy...
1. I don't think "Overreactive" is a real world ("overreacting", maybe, but "reactive" means something different), but if it were, it would have two rs.
2. Anyone who reflexively screeches "PC!" is in no position to accuse anyone else of overreacting.
Hey Pal
I didn't name the manual but Overreacting sounds better anyway.
screeches?
Sigh?
Says the guy
Screeching "racism" over the word urban!
Nice try, but...
...a careful reader will note that the comment you're responding to is my first in this thread.
Ha!
I love that I put that comment in here to see what would happen. Thanks for playing folks!
This is percisely why I don't
watch that program Urban Update or shop at Urban Outfitters or listen To Keith Urban or eat at Urbanspoon or invest in Urban renewal or grow an Urban garden or........
It's The Same As A Toyota Corolla Matrix In The City
No, just sarcasm
since that huge parking lot is pretty much the antithesis of "urban". May even be the least "urban" place within Boston city boundaries.
Depends on your definition of urban
I would say the Stony Brook Reservation would be the antithesis of urban in Boston, while a large swarth of asphalt would indicate urban in the traditional (meaning developed, as opposed to rural) sense.
Of course, urban means different things to different people. Some people don't even care about the landscape and whatnot, but I won't get into that.
Post-urban, perhaps?
Decaying, under-utilized, formerly urban = post-urban???
Do you mean...

Should've/Could've
Went to Stop and Shoot on the other end of the parking lot.
Look at all this violence
They never should have turned that place into a pedestrian mall.
NOW
That was funny. Cause Cars don't kill people, pedestrians kill people.
The popular Target store remained open during the entire ince...
Keeping it classy.
Tar-jaaaay
I was in a checkout line at Target once and suddenly a fight a broke out in another line. One woman must have accidentally nudged another woman, hair-trigger tempers, and next thing you know there's punching and slapping, "She ain't respectin' me.. Get away from me b*tch..." Undercover and uniformed cops swoop in from everywhere to break up these two. Fight dies down. Then, I don't know, one of the women looks at the other one and the fight breaks out again. Cops break up the second fight and drag the two women away.
I get to the front of the line and give the cashier a sort-of "Whoa..." kind of expression. She looks at me with a serious face and said, "This happens every. single. day. At least once. More when it's crowded."
My husband loves going to that Target but I haven't shopped there again since that time.
Same type of crowd at the
Same type of crowd at the Watertown target. All the gimmiedats and dindonuffins for whatever reason want to brawl at Target.
"Dindonuffins" sound like
"Dindonuffins" sound like something out of Harry Potter!

gimmiedats? dindonuffins?
Hm. There appears to be some sort of code in use in this post as well, but somehow, I Just. Can't. Figure. Out. What you're trying to say about the people you're describing.
The dialect is unique to the
The dialect is unique to the subculture of people that brawl at Targets and Walmarts. Kind of like the people who only shop at Costco or BJs have their own lingo.
Honey Boo Boo/Southie Townie subbacultah
Oh right, the Honey Boo Boo/South Boston Townie subbacultah. Why cant people here just be explicit if they are so anti PC, instead of dancing around things. Say white trash southie townies and be done with it, or face the wrath of people questioning why you are stereotyping people and at the same time getting defensive when people call you on it.
OK
I'll give you that one. There was def a racial undertone there. Maybe I don't need the PC book after all. I couldn't find it on Amazon anyway.
NO
you don't need that. You are a bit of a coward for acting confused about"code" words or implying that people are too PC for taking offense. Being the majority, victor,poor me white man is hell,"I know".
You're in America

The loudmouths who make noise
The loudmouths who make noise in public over nonsense in stores, but if someone tells them to stop or quiet down all of a sudden it's shouting about how they were disrespected or didn't do anything
"racial undertone." gimmie a break, there are idiots who think the entire world should bow to them of every colour
There were a couple seconds
There were a couple seconds when I seriously wondered where I could duck if one of them took out a gun. I don't need that to save $2 on a 12-pack of TP. Plus, I hate that parking lot, and getting in and out of South Bay.
What'a a dindo muffin?
Sounds like some new offering from Dunkin Donuts? (I can't remember if this Target has a DD or a Starbucks inside it)
stop & shop next door is just
stop & shop next door is just as nice. place must sell more blue drink than anywhere else in the country.
Speaking of that stop and
Speaking of that stop and shop, I've seen, on more than one occasion, homeless people eating out of the hot prepared food pans with their hands, so be warned. I've also been asked for change while shopping there.
I know...
would it be so darn nice if we could just get rid of "those people". I dunno - maybe put rocks in their pockets and dump them in the Boston Harbor or something.
I wouldn't kill them
BUT I would request that they please stop eating out of the hot prepared food pans with their hands.
I'd offer them a pair of tongs.

South Bay Mall
I love it over South Bay Mall but only at certain hours. ii never go there after four o'clock or on Saturdays and Sundays. I would take South Bay over a stuffy indoor mall any day!
There is a lot of confusion
There is a lot of confusion with the registers. There are 2 rows of registers, some people think that there should be one line for both registers and some think there should be 2 seperate lines. The employees don't intervene too much (I don't blame them). It can get a bit crazy in there! Be safe!
She's shocked.

Registers
And who the hell designed that awful system of 2 rows of registers - and who approved it? Worst design I've ever seen.
Besides, there are usually so few registers actually open at any given time, I don't know why they thought they needed so many. They should cut back to only the number of lines they can reasonably keep open at any one time. Or better yet, they could get more registers open, so that we wouldn't have to wait in so many f-ing lines...
Like to see stat on stabbings
Like to see stat on stabbings in Boston this year
But the Target logo calls for a punch to the eye
Based on the bullseye around the dog's left eye.
Target
How literal.
Can't wait for Black Friday!

no surprise
Really am not surprised. When I lived in the SoEnd, this mall was the easiest one to get too for a Target and a Stop & Shop. Its a sad day when I would shop (and pay so much more) at Shaw's Prudential, and walk from Wellington to the Everett Target to avoid going South Bay. Yes, its just that bad.
I hate that mall.. hate it. Rude and unruly patrons, annoying teenagers, stores that looked like bomb exploded inside. And every G-D time I go to Target, someone steals my cart. *always* like clock work.
