IR Part Two I went to the Gymboree store at 240 Santa Monica Place and here is my report: No sale signs out but they have 40% sale on sweaters and 25% on a few more items. Since I'm wearing a t-shirt with nothing underneath, I assume a baby deserves the same. I had to turn the aircondition on while driving back. It must be 85 out there--even 2 miles or less from the ocean! I also climbed a floor to the third to visit Kids Gap (on the Place directory it said "323 Kids Gap/Baby Gap," which it was) and they had more items on sale. Sometimes the location matter so I like to pick at the competitive, too. I was there at 12:15pm PST and again at 12:30 (the latter is exact according to my watch) to make sure it's 40% off the sweaters and not 50. It's a big time difference but it took me ten minutes to find where I parked, before I decided to double-check ("Standing by my name").
Saying that, I think the fact that Gymboree is going online is a blessing for men around the world. Women will probably go anyway but I never imagined, prior to seeing there Web site, that I'll by my sister something for her new baby. Nice weekend to all, Marty

PS
Overall, better than Baby part of Gap at 3%, items not on sale: 93.5-97%
