I Have Never Seen a Mall So Crowded

Since we were in the area- Rick and I decided to stop at Town East Mall. We never get to go to this mall - so since we had no kids and since it was tax free weekend we decided to check it out! The day before we went to North Park- it was a little crowded but nothing like this mall.

I have to say that I will probably not be going back to this mall- not because of the crowd but because it was a 'different' kind of mall now. The stores were not the kind of stores you see at a regular mall. I believe I saw a store where you could get a 'grill'- no it was not Sears. There are quite a bit (too many) of clothing stores that are geared towards the hip hop, baggy pants, overly long shirts community. In addition, there are too many stores that are geared towards the club scene & Hookers on the Point Ladies of the Night scene. To add, this mall had some awesome side shops (I forget the correct word)--j/k. Overall it was a waste of time mall :-( But quite an experience and something to talk about :-)

North Park is a nice mall to take the kids to-- can't shop in most of the stores (tooooo expensive), but they tend to have turtles that the kids can look at or display play houses that are out for auction. The Galleria has turned itself into a budget friendly mall also.
