One could have a simalar mall experiece in the suburbs west of Boston, Westchester County, NY, Scottsdale, AZ, or Orange County, CA.
Cool. I honestly wasn't trying to be combative.

Northpark has annual sales of more than $1 billion dollars. H&M will open a store at NorthPark this year.

NorthPark Center had its first expansion in 2005. It increased the size of the mall to 2 million sq ft. NorthPark's interior hasn't changed since it was built in 1965. The expansion matched the original design.

Department Stores

Dillard's (299,500 sq ft) Flagship Store
Macy's (250,000 sq ft) Flagship Store
Barneys New York (84,000 sq ft) Flagship Store
Nordstrom (200,000 sq ft)
Neiman-Marcus (214,000 sq ft)

Former Department Stores

Titche-Goettinger (1965-1979) Joske's (1979-1987) Now Dillard's
Lord and Taylor (1974-2006) Now Barneys New York
JCPenney (1965-1990s) Demolished now Macy's is on the site
Foley's (1997-2005) Now Macy's

Theater

AMC Theaters 15 (80,000 sq ft)

Here's some pics (The two story part of the mall is the expansion.)
Those pics make NP look like a granny mall.

Yo, I used to live in Dallas but I never got the chance to explore any outdoor shopping areas. Malls are very generic, no matter how impressive they can be, they'll still be a mall, something almost every city with more than 75,000 people in its area has, nothing extraordinarily special. Can I see some pictures of something that isn't mall related?

They are not building malls in Dallas-Fort Worth anymore. They are building life style centers.

They built one in Garland, Cedar Hill, Allen, and Fairview.

I don't mean the age of the mall itself. I'm just saying those pics make it seem very bland and ho-hum. I'm NOT saying it is any of those things...I'm just saying the pics make it look that way.

Well, in all actuality, those are technically malls. Outdoor malls.
