I met a woman, a couple weeks ago, who told me she actually brings her kids there about once a week, leaves them at the kids station for an hour and goes for a coffe at the store's restaurant - her only "me-time" in the week! She doesn't shop, just uses the free babysitter!

I'd love it!
Here, we have a street with about 10 fabric stores in a row... I try to avoid it, for it costs too much...
