Went to Cheesecake Factory last night and we noticed that the decor changed. Apparently it happened overnight (or 2) about 3 months ago.
Even Cheesecake is going through some design “generic-fication”

On this date in 2010 we made a pilgrimage to the very first Disney Store at the Glendale Galleria. Unfortunately, it had already been converted to the “Millennium” design. Was never a fan of this look. But hey, it was still in its original location.
