Does this place have hype? If so it is definitely hyped up. I hear this is meant to be the largest in the Charlotte Metro area, but after going to North Lake Mall I don't even think that is true. Perhaps the only positive could be that you can get your massive RV from a NASCAR race to the mall in less than 5 minutes. Strange that he entire floor along the main concourse is carpeted. Not necessarily bad, just strange. There really isn't anything special and after going to North Lake Mall I started to get the feeling that there's nothing here. I kind of get a 'surrounded by bland over-capitalistic overpriced nonsense' anxiety so going here was really a big mistake. You can unleash your inner redneck at the Outdoor World, but other than that there's no reason to go here.
