This place is pretty awesome for a desert region in Arizona. I came to Glendale to visit a friend from college and he took me to this huge outdoor strip mall. It's friggin hot and dry to no end around phoenix, so i thought it was pretty cool that each store had a water mister above the entrance of the shops. They also had these pitched shade tents that spray water and has a fan going from above, along with a little kiddie water play area where families brought their little kids to run and splash around, it was pretty cute :) There's an AMC theater here, and its huge, along with all the major dept stores. They had a shop called dillards which im not familiar with bc we dont have it around here, but I think it's equivalent to maybe a bloomingdales or something? And they had tons of other little shops that you would see in most malls. It's a huge outdoor mall, bigger than any I've seen in CA and they also had a lot of really great looking restaurants:pizza, sushi, mexican, you name it =)
