Here's What People Want to See at the Mall

should bring in a bookstore, a Pottery Barn and a tea room, Strongsville Patch readers suggest.

We invited readers Thursday to send a message to Starwood Capital Group, which is buying seven properties from Westfield for $1.15 billion.

There has been no official word yet on any changes that might be on the way, so we asked readers for ideas.

"Get rid of those kiosk carts in the middle of the mall. They look junky, and especially at the Holidays, when the Sales People jump out at you to harass you to stop. It is a carnival-like atmosphere," Renee wrote.

Other proposals: Add an Urban Outfitters, Trader Joe's, computer store, Arhaus, Crate & Barrel, West Elm, an arcade, Bebe, a Nike store and White House Black Market.

"Make it safe," one reader added.

A bookstore, by the way, was the No. 1 suggestion, with five people asking for one.

Reader Tom disagreed with Renee on the kiosks.

"Those small kiosk carts are mostly small business owners who are trying to make a living just like everyone else also each and every kiosk employs a few additional people to run them not to mention I think they keep the bigger stores prices in check PLUS they are a great place to find last minute gifts for those of us who like to do our christmas shopping the day before christmas (yes I called it christmas)."
