Neat little mall. We stumbled upon it while looking for Parakeet Cafe, and it turned out to be beautifully lit up for the holidays. A nice spot to walk around if you’re in the mood to see some holiday lights.

Popped into YETI and found SOOOO much goodness. Left with a 45 cooler (classic 🤙🏻) and a couple different hats. Vuori, public restrooms, Lululemon, and great food options too.
