Northpark Mall is our families' second home. All the up-market dress departments and book shop owners knew us at one point, or least my mom, the intrepid shopper, personally. She can phone up some of the stores where we have shopped for years and ask them to hold things, watch for sales in skirts or dresses in our sizes, or give a heads-up on the sale of certain perfumes. For years, my parents did Mall Walking, with the Mall Walkers, covering several miles in the winter, and having coffee with friends afterwards. As younger persons, we met and ate junk food there (Chick-Fil-A among others), and the kids played in the game areas. Nice, friendly, clean.
My mom and almost got caught in a tornado in Younkers, which must shut the doors and keep all people inside until the danger passes. We got out just in time before the doors shut automatically, as we wanted to be at home in the basement, rather than at the Mall during a tornado.
