This is not the closest mall to my home but it is one of my favorites because i love that it's air conditioned indoor mall which is necessary in the summer. i also like that they do have natural lighting which gives it a warm feeling. I have taken out of town guest here often because its location off the 101 and the variety of great stores. From ny and co, dillards, macys, popcornopolis, see's candies and nordstrom's. There is also a Harkins and plenty of restaurant options.
