Plenty of shops with at least 3 starbucks.. there's VS, GAP, apple store and a lot more. There are umbrellas in strategic locations that shoppers can use when needed. And of course there's apple store which was the reason we were there.

Fabulous shopping mall. Wonderful stores and restaurants. Well done layout. Easy to walk all over. Parking is good. Plenty of outdoor parking. Love that there is so much outdoor seating. You can bring a book, relax, people watch, get a beverage and food and chill out. Highly recommend.

One of the few places left in the city that still has quality in-person shopping. Mostly chain stores but a few unique shops, laid out in a nice walkable format. Lots of good food as well. And decent parking options.
