Fresh air, and lots of individual stores instead of chain stores. But what really gets me going are motorcycle and moto gear shops. Alas, no malls for that.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-25631707295743780462014-09-24T21:50:30.459-08:002014-09-24T21:50:30.459-08:00I enjoy walking through malls as well including th...I enjoy walking through malls as well including these mega malls but rarely end up buying anything as well.

This is according to the Internet. <br /><br />The Edmonton Mall really does "feel" bigger maybe because it only has two levels so it covers a lot more ground.

I have heard that they also bought some super entertainment/shopping mall in New Jersey out of bankruptsy and are completing construction. <br /><br />I think all I ended up buying there was an iPhone case. The original Apple leather case split earlier in the week. But you are right about the type of stores. <br /><br />I remember that "going to the mall" became a past time back in the '70s.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-71771484233887464432014-09-24T05:21:16.448-08:002014-09-24T05:21:16.448-08:00Safe travels Richard.

I thought it was the other way around.<br /><br />All those stores, and I'll wager that 99.9% is women's clothing and shoes. When did shopping become a thing that people did, like vintage vehicle repair, painting, quilting, and hiking?David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-89871564476824234802014-09-24T00:02:11.346-08:002014-09-24T00:02:11.346-08:00Both the West Edmonton Mall and the Mall of Americ...Both the West Edmonton Mall and the Mall of America are owned by the same Canadian corporation.
