Isn't every mall basically the same???

Ok, some are newer & nicer than others but essentially every mall (at least in the US & Canada, anyway...) has anchor stores like Sears, JC Penny and a better, more upscale department store like Dillards, Neiman Marcus, Sachs 5th Avenue, or whatever and then THE EXACT SAME stores out in the mall itself - Gap, Limited, Victoria's Secret, American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch, etc. The food court MIGHT be different from place to place but that's only because local restaurant chains can sometimes get a spot. It doesn't matter if you live in Miami, Chicago, Vancouver or LA - we all shop in the SAME places. It makes me laugh when people - usually women - get all excited about going to the mall when they are visiting a different city.... Do you really think they are going have DIFFERENT shoes or clothes or whatever in the new place????

when I go to san diego I have to go to 2 malls, one has puma and american eagle, the other one has armani exchange and abercrombie

Yes they are similar. The annoying people are the same.

No. The malls here in San Diego are dumps, small, and really old. There are a lot of malls in the country that are world famous and have ice skating, movies theaters, etc.

Of course majority of Malls are all basicly the same.. they are Malls.. they are all the same concept.. why wouldnt they be?

We don't have any upscale stores here.

In my local mall we have most of those basic stores, but we don't have other random stores like Detox (it comes to mind cause I believe its the only place in the province I can find a certain kind of shoe I like. >_______>).
Different stores other malls have that we don't that I can't think of off hand are good.

We only recently got an HMV and a Taco Bell/KFC in our mall. :P Now I don't have to go an extra 5 blocks. :)

Sometimes shops have different stock. th3warr1or

if I lived in the US I'd never go to malls, I'd just order everything online

I've been to a few malls here in the U.S. and none of them compare to the Philippines malls. The Philippines malls are amazing!

The malls there are as common as seeing a McDonalds here. They could use all that money to clean up the streets:x

but the Mall of Asia is freaking awesome!!

We have a unique Mall in Cornwall known as Kingsley Village, which totally debunks this whole topic i'm sorry.

This mall contains stuff made from Cornwall and shops from local buisnesses. Pretty much, it's a Cornish Mall. I think the most foreign thing you'll find is a can of Coca Cola.

There's a Supermall in Alabama I went to one time, that had 4 stories and a 3-4 star hotel in it. I don't like shopping, but that place was epic. The area it was in also had dozens of stores, resturaunts, etc. It was a very nice area. Can't remember the name though.

The only thing I find in common with malls are annoying teenagers and overpriced products.Wilfred_Owen

Also the mall I linked above doesn't contain teenagers, since it's linked to a moterway not a city. You need to drive to get to it, so you don't get kids hanging around.

Admittedly, it's not as big as most malls. I think the nearest major Mall to meis Drakes Circus in Plymouth, which is pretty much your standard issue mall.

You've clearly never been to West Edmonton Mall in Canada! Three story mall with every damn store that you could imagine, the worlds largest indoor water park and wave pool, the worlds largest indoor amusement park with tons of roller coasters and sick rides, a dolphin and sea lion show, a bungee jump tower, an indoor hockey rink at the center of the mall, an 18 hole mini golf course, several movie theatres, a bowling alley, stage for musical performers, an indoor shooting range, petting zoo, replica Christopher Columbus' ship - the Santa Maria, a night club, a flock of pink flamingos (yes, flamingos..), several resteraunts, and even a china town. Can't say I've been to any other malls like it. :P

And the power to run it costs three third world countries to black out. If it was in America it'll be where the next planes headed.

Oh yes I did!
