An outdoor mall extension completed in 2020. Which wasn't exactly ideal timing.
The courtyard was at least someplace they could set up chairs and signs reminding you to keep your distance. I saw a few people walking through on their way to somewhere else (like I was), and could hear an exercise class running in the parking structure next door.
Since pandemic restrictions lifted last year, the mall has added a few restaurants and shops in and around the courtyard, more chairs and tables, a toy kiosk, and WiFi. People are hanging out here now. I'd certainly rather set up outside than at one of the seating areas inside the mall. I've spent a couple of mornings and afternoons here with my work laptop for a change of scenery without going all the way to the office.

The biting flies are a pain, though. Literally.
