This rating is for the Pet Photos with Santa. We made a reservation this evening and basically…read morewalked right in because there was no one in line. Santa was amiable and friendly and was able to corral these two little squirmers while the elf helper took the photos. The pictures were fine; some had digital backgrounds added. The setting still looks good; nothing looked worn or faded. The pictures are a little pricey considering I was also taking pics on my phone. The whole experience makes me a little sad because one family came as we were finishing up but basically the mall was empty. Good on Santa and his helper for being enthusiastic and lively for our pictures. We walked around a little but I didn't see any other families (or dogs) lined up for photos. Shortly after I arrived home I also received a digital link for the photos -- the helper said it might take up to 24 hours for the pics but here they are. 4.5 stars

Everything worth anything in here is gone…read more The interior is still as classy as ever, with some really fun common spaces for the kids, like the treehouse. But there's no Apple Store. No burger joint. And every escalator was not operational when I visited. The only reason I was there, was to donate blood. The AMC is still around, but the whole place looks like a zombie apocalypse. I don't know why you'd come here.

On a whim, I decided to head out and check out the new store. I purposely left my debit card at home and went *shopping* with my iPhone camera. I conveniently parked in the onsite parking lot and went in. I immediately noticed that the store feels a bit sparse and airy, but it's probably because everything is nicely organized and well curated. Off to the right you'll find a nice selection of handbags and a somewhat hidden checkout counter. You'll find name brand sunglasses, and a nice selection of workout clothes (don't miss the 70% off rack). Like any outlet store, you can be expected to to spend some time browsing the sale racks. But it's worth it, because I spotted a great blazer I would come back and purchase to wear with jeans. The coat selection is great. Though I don't want to think about coat shopping, this would be a good time to do it before the men's and women's coats are picked over. There is a men's section in the back. On to the shoes. If you're a woman size 8-8.5, I found that size to have the most variety. They have newer shoes, only slightly discounted, mixed with sale shoes. I would come back for a special outfit for a special occasion. As far as everyday shopping, I would have to come back with more time in my schedule...oh...and my debit card!

Even so, the experience is largely inconvenient. Staffing issues persist, usually with barely anyone working on the floor at all to answer questions (I gave up on this awhile ago and now don't ask anything when I shop there unless I'm at a register). The pickup section is overall inefficient, though the people working there are still friendly. There is a pretty good variety here, nonetheless, so if you aren't in a hurry and know where to get stuff, you'll be good to go!

I was pleasantly surprised at how much more spacious and well-organized and clean this felt by comparison.

I'll be back in a few days to do more returns because I have more things coming that I'll need to return, so I'm glad it was an easy experience today.
