2/5 Alexandra N.S. (. 2 years ago on Google
I
live
in
the
area
over
11
years
now.
So
this
review
is
not
lighthearted
and
not
written
by
a
tourist.
This
is
my
hood.
I
write
some
minus
and
some
plus
points
trying
not
to
focus
on
the
minus
points
but
then
again
the
plus
is
not
overwhelming.
Here
we
go.
Minus
points
=
1.
Second
rate
shops
that
are
messy
and
filthy.
Clothes
thrown
around,
on
the
floor,
in
random
shelves.
Disaster
areas.
With
rude
unfriendly
staff
almost
everywhere.
2.
Even
the
names
like
H&M,
Class
Ohlson
and
kicks
look
shabby
and
mossy.
Especially
H&M
feels
abandoned.
3.
The
food
court
is
terrible.
Outdated
and
depressing
with
food
that
tastes
and
smells
the
same
no
matter
what
cuisine
you
choose.
A
flavour
of
old
onions
and
garlic,
deep-fried
in
expired
diesel.
Topped
with
the
aftertaste
of
used
kitchen
cloth
and
decayed
lemons.
But
if
you
like
awful
1970s
prison-food
in
gigantic
portions,
and
want
to
wait
in
long
lines
to
get
it
only
to
eat
it
next
to
a
screaming
child
or
two,
then
the
food-court
in
Kista
galleria
is
the
place
to
stuff
your
face.
I
will
pass.
4.
There
is
no
need
for
3
supermarkets.
Better
yet,
there
is
no
need
for
Lidl.
It
is
a
horrendous
appalling
store
that
offers
mostly
garbage
and
has
unfriendly
ignorant
staff
(in
general).
If
we
MUST
have
cheap
stores,
why
don't
we
get
a
Dollar
Store
here
in
Kista?
And
if
we
want
one
more
cheap
supermarket
why
don't
we
get
Willys
wich
is
Swedish
and
offers
cheap
and
local
amongst
others?
Why
is
Lidl,
a
German
sad
excuse
of
a
supermarket
still
exists
in
Sweden?
Pathetic!
5.
Most
of
the
hairdressers
in
the
cheap
hair-salongs
all
around
the
Galleria,
men
and
women,
are
rather
talented,
but
they
are
over-worked
and
underpaid.
I
felt
like
exploiting
them
each
time
I
had
my
hair
done
there.
Guilt
is
something
you
leave
with
along
with
a
nice
hairdoo.
6.The
stores
are
unevenly
spread.
Meaning
that
there
are
parts
of
the
Galleria
that
are
extremely
loud
and
crowded
because
all
the
popular
stores
are
gathered
there.
And
then
there
are
other
parts
that
are
dead
zones.
Just
crickets
and
tumble-weed.
Isn't
there
someone
behind
every
Galleria
who
decides
what
goes
where?
Well
if
there
is,
the
one
working
for
Kista
Galleria
must
be
a
94
year
old
blind
Mister
potato
head.
Because
the
design
is
not
working.
Stores
are
closing
right
and
left
only
to
open
more
stores
that
will
close
in
their
turn
and
in
the
end
we
are
left
with
sad
empty
spaces.
(Wich
will
be
the
future
name
of
the
Galleria.
"Sad
Empty
Spaces")
There
are
a
lot
more
minus
points
but
I
stop
here
cause
I
have
a
life.
Plus
points
=
1.
Clean,
fresh,
accessible
public
toilets.
2.
Really
fresh
and
clean
ICA
supermarket
with
decent
variety
of
goods
and
food-brands.
Plus
friendly
helpful
staff.
3.
RUSTA
opened
here
the
last
couple
of
years
and
it
still
being
kept
in
a
decent
condition.
For
a
budget
store
in
a
sleepy
suburb
that's
impressive.
4.
One
of
the
few
burger
chain
restaurants
that
offers
GREAT
quality
of
food
with
tastes
that
make
food
an
adventure
in
your
mouth
to
die
for,
is
Brödernas.
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
to
see
such
restaurant
opened
in
that
neolithic
Galleria.
With
really
delightful
staff!
Is
there
hope
for
this
Galleria
after
all?
Who
knows.
Time
will
tell.
If
they
take
examples
from
Farsta
centre
and
the
magnificent
renovations
they
did
there,
especially
the
food-court!
Marona
mia!
🤌🏻
That's
a
Galleria!
Then,
maybe
baby.
