The artist's
concept drawings looked so exciting that I decided to take advantage of a
free-room offer this past December so I could check it out.
You know what?
Maybe it's because I went during the daytime, but it's no big deal; it hasn't got anything special that would classify it as an
attraction. The little shops are the usual small mall shops, nothing that would
draw me in. Plus the storefront designs are pretty sterile with hardly any
character.
When I was in
the Honolulu Jaycees and we put on the annual 50th State Fair, E.K. Fernandez
Shows president Kane (KAH-nay) Fernandez explained the difference between
"entertainment" and an "attraction." The first keeps
attendees occupied while at the fair, the other actually draws people to the
fair.
Sad to say,
the Grand Bazaar Shops are entertainment, not an attraction. And not great
entertainment either. People were just walking past the shops; I never saw
anyone actually buying anything.
Take a look
for yourself and see how empty the area is:
