No complaints could be heard>> Sure, it's nice. If you like caramel, which I don't. There's nothing wrong with the Caramel Kitchen. There is something wrong with offering ONLY caramel candies. Heck, the Kitchen didn't even replace the old chocolate store. It replaced a glass store. Why did the chocolates have to go too?

Excellent attractions based on dated/irrelevant movies should still flourish.
