I dont see why it matters. We have just about all the same shops, the difference is that ours are in a mall and yours are streetfront (minus Copely Place which is a mall). But they are still the same shops and they carry the same s**t.
Agreed the quality of what you buy is not changed whether its a mall or street but the quality of your setting is important to consider also. Streets like 5th Avenue, Magnificent Mile, and Rodeo Drive leave a brand name that no mall can compete with in prestige, IMO

Well there really is no difference in terms of what you can buy...but you could say that about pretty much everything. The difference is in one area you're at a shopping mall surrounded by parking lots, and in the other you're surrounded by beautiful architecture, streetscapes, street performers, etc.

Your post is an extension of mine where I stated streets leave a brand name in the world that malls cant compete with for prestige and I named 3 examples that your list also has 5th Avenue, Magnificent Mile, and Rodeo Drive. Malls dont get the same acclaim that high end street level shopping do, which is also proven by movies taken in wealthy places like Beverly Hills and Manhattan where shopping is done on street rather than mall

I would rather be in a mall. The temps in Dallas get over 100 degrees in the Summer. What person would want to be outside in that?
In Dallas we have more shopping centers than malls. There's only 4 malls in Dallas, that's not including the metro. When Southwest Center mall closes we will only have 3 malls.

Temperatures get down to the teens and single digits during winter in Boston, New York and Chicago...their major shopping streets somehow manage to stay afloat.

Im kind of indifferent to the whole thing. I used to shop way more at Del Amo and the South Bay Galleria even though they are malls rather than make a short drive to Melrose or Rodeo drive. But again, Im more of a blue collar, Dickies and Vans wearing kind of guy.
^^I bet it does. Youre saying there just as many shoppers when its 10 degrees as 80?? Really
I don't think he's saying there's the same amount, but there are still shoppers. It's obviously not the same number of people when the temperatures are at an extreme.

Sure. Same with the heat....
