The first few times I drove to this outlet mall, I wasn't a huge fan. There are some definite downsides. The parking can be atrocious, and some of the stores feel a bit like flea markets... smelly people digging through piles of undesirable waste. Can you tell I'm not really a fan of outlet malls? I have been elbowed in the temple on each and every trip I've made to an outlet mall, so maybe my brain is addled. But I digress.
I am giving this outlet mall 3 stars because I have occasionally scored a good deal or two at this location (helloooooo Kate Spade wicker basket purse!). However, much like other outlet malls, this one has its fair share of bad deals as well. Maybe I have a rampant shopping problem, but I generally know how much things go for at "regular" stores... and sometimes, there isn't a price difference at all. I prefer to visit this mall at night. It seems like there are fewer suburban housewives with excessively large strollers.
Overall, I will probably visit once or twice more before I move back home to Missouri in July. It's about as good an outlet mall as I have visited.
