Probably not my first choice in malls, but it's alright. Being in Charlotte for a while, I've seen this mall change through the years.
I definitely like the design of the subtle "S" shape of the mall, making it seem longer than it really is since you can't see end to end.
Parking around the food court can be a little scary, but I usually just try to get in and out really quick when I need to go here. I did just recently go into the REI (which is fairly new) but it's really neat to go in a look around... I didn't realize it was 2 stories. The other farily recent addition is the Barnes & Nobles. Another good spot, but always busy.
