I've only been to the Fox & Goose, not the other 3. I'm not into pub crawling, so I wouldn't know the difference between an English vs Irish pub.
The only difference is the Food!

Apple store would be nice. LV. Upscale optician with real designer frames and lenses. High end audiophile stores would be fun. Williams Sonoma or some cooking class place. Computer retail store that sells a wide variety of computers across the top ten to fifteen makers instead of the very limited selections offered by the current stores in Folsom.

So far it seems that Palladio will be a home for several overpriced, not particularly good restaurants and already existing stores. Other than Whole Foods and the movie theater, I think I can safely avoid it.

Like what? wikipedia doesn't make any differentiation, and I can't find anything else on line......
Per wiki: Traditionally pubs in England were drinking establishments and little emphasis was placed on the serving of food, other than "bar snacks", such as pork scratchings, and pickled eggs, along with salted crisps and peanuts which helped to increase beer sales. If a pub served meals they were usually basic cold dishes such as a ploughman's lunch. In South East England (especially London) it was common until recent times for vendors selling cockles, whelks, mussels and other shellfish, to sell to customers during the evening and at closing time. "Pub grub" expanded to include British food items such as steak and ale pie, shepherd's pie, fish and chips, bangers and mash, Sunday roast, ploughman's lunch, and pasties. In addition, dishes such as burgers, lasagne and chilli con carne are often served.
Sounds downright american, except for the 1st section of oddities.

Streets of London has Scotch Eggs.I LOVE pickled eggs! I haven't seen them anywhere in years. I should make some of my own.

I am discussing the specifics of what these two pubs/restaurants serve. They are not just pubs, they are restaurants as well. The beers are pretty much the same, but the food is different as they mostly serve the ethnic food of their countries, specifically english and irish fare.
As for the selections mentioned on Wikipedia, the only american food would be burgers and possibly chili. Everything else is english/irish.
A basic Ploughman's is crusty bread, cheese plus pickled onions and chutney but this can vary considerably and it may also contain a selection of cold meats, ham, maybe a slice of pate and/or a slice of pork pie, sometimes slices of apple or other seasonal fruit. Traditionally the cheese, bread and pickles would be home-made by the ploughman's wife - making it a cheap and substantial lunch. Today, a good Ploughman's will be cheeses of the region and at the very least British; the same for the meats and other accompaniments. The bread must be a thick wedge of crusty bread or a baguette, anything less will not hold up when piled high with cheese, chutney and pickles. And to drink ...in a pub it must be a pint of the local beer or cider.

Is there a living list of committed and tentative tenants?
The nearest Lego store is at Arden Mall... um, pass on heading there. That would be a good one.
What about a National Geographic store? You've got to mix in an art gallery.

will be nice to have Eye Designs right here in Folsom! We've been using them since college and have followed them up to the Galleria. All the Optometrists we've seen there have been wonderful.
National Geographic used to have a store I think but maybe I'm confusing it with Discovery.
Eric: did you ever respond about a children's play area at Palladio?
Thanks,
Barb
