The Victoria stuff looks much worse because of the Texas habit of putting wide fringes of nothing between the road and the parking lot, a la Home Depot. Some trees would help things greatly.
I wasn't talking about which stores you have. If I was, I wouldn't be impressed by chains.
But, when I do...I go to Buckland Hills Mall, which is about 7 miles northeast of downtown. The whole place is crazy with development...a lifestyle center was just built nearby. From this mall, there are about 4 whole miles of strip malls, big box stores, you name it.
Here's a pic of the interior. The mall looks nice inside. Looks like a early morning pic.
Should this thread be in one of the photo forums since I'm asking for pics of suburban strip malls and golf course and/or gated neighborhoods? And if so, can someone move it, I don't know how. Thanks.
We need something like the Union Sqaure in Houston,that would get Houston more pedestrians downtown. Were getting something like that in my small town [Waco]
It's the largest shopping mall on the East Coast of the United States, the second largest shopping mall in the country, and the largest shopping mall in the country in terms of leasable retail space.
So while the Mall of America is bigger, it's not as big from a pure retail point of view.
Willow Grove Mall, another big mall in the Philadelphia area. It used to be an amusement park. Departments stores are Sears, Boscov's, and Macy's. Cheesecake Factory coming in 2008!!!!:
Willow Grove Park is a three level Center, which was completely renovated in 2001 and offers an elegant Victorian atmosphere that is a tribute to its namesake, a famous turn-of-the-19th century amusement park. Special features include a custom designed carousel attraction in its own feature entrance, a fanciful carousel circling above a spectacular fountain, working carillon clock, food court tables inlaid with memorabilia from the original Willow Grove Park, and abundant lighting provided by Victorian street lamps and crystal chandeliers. Explore Willow Grove Park today … it’s a Shopping Fantasy Come True!
Other big malls in the PA part of the tri-state area include The Gallery (one of the largest downtown malls, 4 blocks long and includes a train station), Franklin Mills Outlet Mall, Montgomery Mall, and Plymouth Meeting Mall.
