A giant wire reindeer in an open shopping area, lit up brightly at night. In the background, BAN OUTFITTERS can be seen.

Spotted today during a store pickup at the mall.

A few Covid-19 rules are still in place at this botanical garden, though it's a lot more relaxed than it was last spring when they managed to stay open even through the early-pandemic lockdowns.
