and stared.

Not far from the fountain was
the information booth, staffed by
an information girl wearing a white
shirt and purple skirt. "I adver-
tised for information persons," Sor-
enson said, 'but only women ap-
plied. Besides," she admitted,
we would have had problems with
the uniforms for men."
According to Miller, 4,000 people
will be employed, full and part
time, when Briarwood is com-
pleted. Those already in business
were hard at work.

The Taubman Co. refuses to re-
lease figureson the cost of the
construction, referring to the mall
as a "multi-million dollar" project.
Mille' boasted that the mall was
the largest industrial landscaping
job in the state. But customers
would never know it by looking
around. The shopping center is
located smack in the middle of a
huge mud field.
THE ROADS leading to Briar-
wood are still under construction.
They are muddy and bumpy. State
St. is still under construction as
the city attempts to widen the road
for the increased traffic.
Miller also claimed that there
was no traffic problem. He said
city police and Briarwood security
guards were handling the cars.
However, it took a good five to
ten minutes to leave the parking

SHOPPER REACTION was gen-
erally favorable. "I think it's some-
thing Ann Arbor needs," said Jan
Thomas of Saline, as she stopped
her son from diving head first into
the fountain. "It's exciting and the
design is terrific."
"It's too big," said a .giggling
teen age shopper. "I don't think
Ann Arbor needs another huge
shopping center."
But, she conceded she would
probably return in the future to do
more shopping.
