[wheresmycoat]

ahh....yes, thanks.

clearly, I need to return my eyes for a new pair!

[rixia]

LOL! I did put everything in alpha order to make it easier to find shop names. Don't know why they scrambled them all up on the maps though...

[wheresmycoat]

Rixia - you rock the house!

Let me know if you want to claim your free coffee for doing such a great job!

[rixia]

Thank you. Just trying to help out the community that was so helpful to me when I first moved here. I will take a virtual drink for now and raincheck for the other one.

El Chico was open yesterday.. they were giving flyers out for a free meal for 4.

Took them up on the offer and have to say the food and service where very good.

Hey Rixia - sterling effort

Shams Update: Starbucks is open now, so is the Emirates Bank (24hr ATM, counters open mornings Sat-Thurs)

Shams Update:

So Coco's is open now on the ground level beach side - Friday is apparently family fun day
ACT Marine opens today - they were hastily re-arranging a canoe full of Crocs yesterday!

[jag]

ACT Marine has been open for about 4 days, due to passers by enquiring when they'll be opening, and wanting to come in even though they weren't finished.
It is a work in progress, and will be continuously improving.
Shop Timings are 10am - 9pm, 7 days a week

Hi Where is this starbucks ?

[lurch]

Foxes - on ground floor level, opposite the car-park entrance to the Sheraton - it's got the seating outside so you can't miss it - opens at 7am if you're like me & need the fix early!!

Hi Everyone!

On the topic of the Walk, which is slowly taking shape: have you noticed that there isn't a single supermarket in any of the complexes? I think Dubai Properties should have ensured that there was a small supermarket - a Spinney's, say, in every complex. It would be useful to everyone and provide a hub for each community. I wonder, with so much retail space left untaken, DP could be persuaded to think about this again. What do you think?

Best wishes,

Caz

Deals...Oasis beach

[grailan]

I agree with you Caz, we are in Shams and I don't feel like walking from here to Deals (Oasis) in this heat . There is a tiny shop across the bridge (Fourways) but its just a "oh my I've run out of milk" kind of store. A small Spinneys is up near Murjan, in the Marina but again......toooooo far to walk to and parking is a nightmare there! With the amount of people living in this area I hope that someone has got a better plan for services.
