After reading this on Friday morning, I went a little nuts trying to
track down confirmed information since PM is within a long lunch hour
drive from where I work. That's when things got weird: The URL that
I'd used the day before (www.potomacmills.com) stopped working. A
Yahoo search for Potomac Mills returned a slightly different URL (with
a hyphen between Potomac and Mills) which also didn't work. I looked
up the general information phone number and called, then gave up after
about 20 rings. It's a conspiracy, I tell you!
I tried the phone number again yesterday (Saturday) afternoon and got
an answer. The lady I spoke to said that not only is the LEGO store
*not* open yet, they don't even have a confirmed date. She suggested
that I call back closer to Christmas. She offered this information
without hesitation, which makes me a little more inclined to believe
it (as opposed to thinking it was a stock 'I dunno' response), but the
no confirmed date part seems a little odd.
So, Mike, were your parents able to do any first hand sleuthing?
