I really do like this mall! It has all of the shops that I like: Jcrew, LL Bean, Nordstroms, Macy's, the Body Shop, etc!
Also, if you can't find something you can afford in this mall, it's because you don't know how to shop. I don't pay full price for anything.
As far as people being "uppity"- well that wasn't my experience. I went to the Burberry store and told the lady straight up that I wasn't buying anything in there except perfume because I couldn't afford it. We sat there and chatted for over 20 mins about life.
The only thing that I don't like about this mall is GETTING TO this mall. It's a straight PITA coming from Oakland :p
