You're not imagining things if you think you see more empty spaces. If you like shopping at The Block, then you certainly don't want any stores to close there. But...what we customers want doesn't always happen, and that's certainly true when it comes to our favorite stores closing. Hilo Hatties is gone. Ron Jon's closed in December. Steve & Barry's has closed, as part of a national shut-down of their stores. And Virgin Megastore has gone, as well. Will there be more casualties? Let's hope not! There's also some very GOOD news! A location of the popular Neiman Marcus Last Call outlet stores is coming soon to The Block at Orange!
