This mall somewhat confuses me. It's half South Park and half Carolina Place. It just doesn't really have a niche. You have an upscale wine bar "The Grape" across from Aldo Accessories. Kind of a mismatch.
I used to go there all the time because it was the closest to my house and it's fine, but nothing spectacular. The movie theater is good and they have $5 movies during the week so that's a huge plus. You can always go in and find something whenever you are looking for a gift and I'm a fan of the Borders there.
A perk is all the surrounding strip malls that have Target, Old Navy, Best Buy etc. right there together.
I do wish there were more unique restaurants in the area. It's like a huge chain conglomerate. I know that Charlotte in general isn't good with the non-chain restaurants, but if someone would put a couple here they might work out! It gets really boring when there is just Red Robin, TGI Fridays and Chili's around during a day of shopping. I know there are others, but nothing special!
