Those things rule. If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, the Irvine Spectrum is the best one i've been to.

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, the Irvine Spectrum is the best one i've been to. The lifestyle/town centers are the places where they try to recreate old towns but, instead, they're usually filled with the typical chains. However, they're almost always one level and it's possible to spend a day there without buying anything because of the ocassional scenery and arts. There aren't many around here...
Here's one - an attempt to restore an area near me to make it look like the upscale Bethesda: http://www.downtownsilverspring.com/index.shtml
If you're ever in DC, though, DO visit the AFI Silver theatre.
The "Irvine Spectrum" place (I googled it) looks similar. Basically, it's a big complex that can be right in the city or can be isolated on a highway that features shops with doors that wind can actually...ENTER!

Kind of. Except, nicer. lol.
You're familiar with the Cleveland area, right? Cuz, there's a new one. It has a Joseph-Beth, Cheesecake Factory, and some other chains. I forget what it's called, but it's still the "big" thing in Beachwood.

Yea, a little. I haven't been up there for awhile, though. I think I know what you're talking about.

Yeah, mall walkers have been here in my town for around 20 years. Dozens walk the mall every morning.

I told my parents when they found me gobbling some of it up that I found it in the drawers of the condo we were staying in. They "acted" as if they bought the excuse and then subtlely, two days later, gave me a lesson on "stealing".
You know what's worse? During Chem/Physics labs when you've got to wear an apron AND those goggles that are very air-tight. Once they're off, you're left with a big imprint of the marking on the face... I used to pick pocekts and steal from stores all the time, i would steal clothes to waer, candy to eat, stuff to seel to get money..money, whatever. id id htis from like age 7 till I was like 14, at that age I wa sold enough to get a real job.
ma ll waking has been big for awhile, its much better thent he elderly going to the casino to blow their social security....
