City Centre not opening soon...
The Gulf Times has this update on the City Center mall closure :
City Center Doha, which has been closed since June 15, is unlikely to reopen in the next few days, sources said. It is understood that the authorities are working on some major redesigning on the floor plans of the complex on the instructions of the Directorate of the Civil Defence and hence an early reopening is ruled out, they said. As per the revised plans, some major modifications would be made on some of the shops located on the top level of the complex.
And QLer azamat provides this piece of satire on the impact of the closure of the major malls in Qatar :
The tiny state of Qatar has declared a state of emergency due to severe shortage of shopping malls, with officials saying that some residents have been restricted to fortnightly shopping trips.
What are you doing instead of visiting City Center/Villagio?

One needs clean dress, polished shoes, ray ban & atleast something in the stomack before someone steps out of the home !
Everything has a cost !

Isn't it odd how it is ...Isn't it odd how it is nothing to spend QR1000 in CC and yet I lament being charged QR3 or 4 for parking.
A few weeks ago I even kept my receipt from C4. That gave me 2 hours of bliss knowing that our car was parked free of charge. Imagine my horror when handing the lady in the little box my receipt and her telling me that I was 3 minutes too late and that I now owed QR3.00! F**K! I felt like backing up and then ramming her little box (no jokes about that please). Then my wife put things into perspective for me. "Why sweat the small stuff? Because there is nothing else to sweat about. Life is good. So shut up and pay the nice lady." Knew I married her for a reason.
