The Meerkat Meetup at Tysons Galleria

They come in all different vibrant colors. It was an unexpected surprise to see the huge Meerkat Meetup sculpture display at Tysons Galleria. We went to the mall for a morning walk because the weather was quite foul. We hadn’t been there since the pandemic started. It was our go to place when we weren’t able to walk outside. Using the parking structure in our building for this purpose was a drag, but it was better than nothing at all. At least the mall shop windows kept our eyes busy while we walked. Since we were at the mall last a Bowlero has appeared on the first floor and two new furniture stores opened in the renovated Macy’s second floor space - Arhaus and Restoration Hardware. The area is striking in both appearance and design. There is still construction going on now. It was rumored that the Apple Store may take up some space there as well. It was here - between the furniture stores - that the recycled plastic meerkats roamed. Cracking Art created the meerkats display and it will be traveling across the country. The idea behind it is caring for the environment and each other. If one is so inclined the space is great to sit and relax. It is whimsical and gave us something else to think about. Who doesn’t love a meerkat?
