This place sure has changed, and so much for the better. At the end of the day, it's not as pretty as the north outlets and there's not as many high-end places as at the north outlets. But it's become a much nicer place to shop. And it's indoors, which is nice when it's a particularly hot summer day. I also like that my favorite store, Banana Republic, is easily accessible from the parking lot. No walking through a maze of a mall required. All in all, it's a closer and easier place to shop (and park at) than the north outlets. Though, it lacks some of the "luxury" of the north outlets. But either way, you're gonna score some serious bargains.
