| - Like many people before me have said, this is not really a mall. It's a line of stores...connected by a sidewalk...mostly. When you think of this place, think of the strip of stores in the Waterfront, most likely why I get the two mixed up so often.
It's great to a have such a mix up of stores in one place, but the parking/parking lots are horrendous. You zig and you zag, but don't expect to figure out who has the right of way. Would be nice if there were dividers at every entrance/exit to let you know when the parking ends and the "street" begins.
Another thing I don't enjoy so much about this place is how spread out it is. For being a "mall" it sure is inconvenient to have to get in your car and ride down to the other end. And don't dare forget to get a store at the previous end or you'll end up like me and saying forget it and keep going until you leave.
One of the best aspects of this place is the diverse eateries. You got your chains like McDonalds, Wendys and ENP, but you also got some great local flavor like Burgatory, Walnut Grove and La Capella.
It is a great little place to stop when you need to run into a spot and grab an item, or if the weather is nice, but it's just like pulling into Miracle Mile in Monroeville. Not a mall, if you get what I mean.
For all that I don't like, you will still see me around this area. Most times back behind the stores, at the cinema. Especially on Monday.
