I will take the sterile air conditioned enclosure.

I am buying clothes and getting the heck outta there, I am not buying an experience.

LOL..............

Southwest Center Mall was already dying before the shopping center opened, now Southwest Center mall is dead. They should close the mall. Most of the people who use to shop a Southwest now shop at Uptown. The only thing that's keeping the mall open is the anchors. I heard that the Macy's at Southwest is going to move to Uptown. In 2001 the JCPenney at Southwest moved to Cedar Hill Plaza. The old JCPenney Store has been vacant ever since. In 2008 the Dillard's at Southwest closed and moved to Uptown. The City of Dallas should stop spending millions of dollars to save that mall, it's too late. Once Southwest closes there will not be a mall serving Oak Cliff.

Is that FieldTurf that they're using in place of grass in some of the areas? If so, we've hit a new low in the world of "plastic development".

No, its real grass. They water the grass ALOT!

haha I wouldn't go that far...we've got plenty of nice grass. It's a different breed than down South though.

Ehhhhh, speak for yourself. If you want pretty, look at Newbury Street.

Yeah I want to know that too and I wasn't really impressed with the Newbury picture; I like them both the same because neither involve walking around an enclosed mall.
