My first trip to Aventura Mall (Miami, Fort Lauderdale: condos, crime, mortgage)

[hurricaneMan1992]

The only complaints I have about the Mall: no bookstore, no decent bicycle parking, and the pedestrain access is basically a joke, despite dense development around the mall. The later two would require just a small percentage of $$$ that Aventura has made off of it's red light cameras At least the bus stops right at the food court though; you don't have to walk across the parking lot after getting off the bus..

You can buy airplanes @ Bal Harbour, that's crazy

Something tells me you've run your credit card(s) to the max.

I like Aventura Mall because it's far away from Kendall.

1. Aventura mall is the nicest mall in all of south Florida.
It is always packed, it has a large variety of stores from upscale to affordable, from expensive to cheap.
You can go walk around in the food court and get full of free samples, and go to the tea store right next to the food court and drink all the free tea you want.

All while looking at the most beautiful woman in Florida, while they are not drunk in clubs...
I never go to the movies there, it gets too loud and full of kids.

My dislikes of the mall is that they allow bums to hang out in the bus bench in the main entrance, and that too many gays work at this mall, so basically they have an invincible sign, if you are *****, you can work here..

Parking is easy to find, if you don't like to walk, shop online.
Plus this mall is always open till 9:30, later then every mall in south Florida.

2. Sawgrass Mills mall, size matters, this is a super-mega-mall, it will takes you days to walk it all.
Good prices, good stores, always packed, not too far from Miami.

3. Dolphin mall, although I don't like the location, it is a cool spot, nice mall, with variety in stores. Pretty girls there, but it is alot younger crowd, the positive is Daves & Busters and the Bowling rink it has.

4. Bal Harbor shops is pretty, but you have to pay for parking, and you can't afford not one item in the entire small mall. Plus during the week it is deserted, not one person in sight, but do go there on major weekends or while they have an event there, may be hook up with a fine cougar and your life is set.

I have missed out on this mall. I stay away from malls on principle...after all, why shop when I can buy everything I need at Amazon or Zappos? Ever since I heard about the gang riot there, I decided I could just skip going there...I will stick with Cocowalk, Dadeland, or Merrick Park if I need a mall fix.
