I am from NJ, which means i have 20 malls in a 5 mile radius.  This to me is the best one in Charlotte.  Northlake, Carolina Place, and Concord seemed like hallways compared to the monster malls we have.  I was told that every store in here was just super expensive and not to go.  I would have to disagree.  Yes, there are some designer stores and a damn apple store, but the place is big enough to host the normal stores as well.  The only thing that I didn't like was that I felt the layout of the mall was setup up like an airport. Not really a big problem, but it was just weird for me.  I think this might be the only mall I will be going to around here now.
