I have been shopping at Northpark Mall since I was born, which was longer ago than I care to admit (before the mid-1980's remodel is all I will confess to). I think this mall has gone drastically downhill despite all of its many remodels and additions. It is left with a very sparse, "brightly lit to the point of being too sanitary" feeling. Most of the stores that interested my friends and family have vanished over the years. The mall no longer has a movie theater or book store, and many of their longtime tenants have moved out of the mall and into stand-alone stores. Northpark Mall has many kiosks in the center (as most malls do) but I have never encountered such rude and aggressive sales people as I have at the kiosks there; people will stand in your path, grab your hand, or shout out to you across the crowd if they catch your eye for a mere second. It feels like being on vacation in a tourist trap at times. Meanwhile, when a store closes the mall automatically replaces it with a juniors clothing store. Every time. I suppose they are going for that specific demographic but it seems that this mall is catering in an extreme way to tweens and teens, and it lacks a lot of its former well-rounded charm. I feel almost as if this mall does not deserve 3 stars, to be honest, but it does have a few bright spots - a TJ Maxx store at its north end, a larger food court than average, and sparkling clean bathrooms (for a mall). read more
