Paradise Valley Mall has been our go-to place since I was in high school. For awhile, it was going down hill esthetically with too many empty shops. It's had a nice "face lift" in recent years and has regained much of its splendor. The best places in this mall are definitely "Chompies" restaurant and "Picture Show of Paradise Valley". The food at Chompie's was also a hit back in high school.(a long time ago unfortunately). New York style deli, but so, so much more. Awesome theater! "Joy" is the manager and she's in a league of her own!
