    Great place for seniors to walk around and be social. The mall is clean, feels safe and has some great shops and cafes. People seem really friendly.

    I would like to thank the girl who served me at the A&W and the two security guards who helped me. I took sick at the A&W and the girl helped me at first and then had the two security guards helped...

    Always a delight to visit. This time was able to see a special Christmas visitor "the Grinch". Was able to be seen without reservation as they had a opening.
