Oh my gosh- some folks thought I was serious about adding another tourist place in The Village.

HIB- that's perfect for The Village!
Possibly some folks thought that in my previous posts I was truly advocating for an additional touristy or other ill-conceived establishment in that space. Alas....

Watchful, long ago running springs had a place like that, i kid you not it was called " tacky touristy stuff"...

I do like me some Panda Express!

Don't we need another Mexican food place? The 17 we have need more competition!

. Ok how about Panda Express? In and Out has always said no to Big Bear. A nice bakery would be great in the village. An alpine themed one would suit well.

How about a huge retail shop that only has maybe 10 dust covered items for sale, with music blaring and a kid at the checkout binge-watching TikTok? Or maybe a food place where you pay (and tip) ahead of time, seat yourself, wipe your own table and wait 45 minutes for the food?

watchful,
That's a great idea for a store. I can only think of two or three stores in the valley who sell these items. Let's hear from SOCALMOUNTAINS people what would be a great fit for the property? Any ideas?

Huge thanks to CalTrans for cleaning up all the tacky political signage along the roadways in BBC!

watchful

Hmm. How about a store that sells "Big Bear Lake, CA" clothing, post cards, and plastic figurines?
