MOA sucks, though. They have three Victoria's Secrets! THREE! They also have two Gamestops and an Electronics Boutique. Why two Gamestops? Why not just one larger one? It pissed me off when I had to go to the OTHER Gamestop to get Bujingai. We also went to the mall looking for a Darth Vader action figure. All we could find is crappy new shit. Some fat blue guy that looks like Henry Knowles, Anakin, Oni-Wan. We were close to buying Anakin and just waiting for a bit, but it probably wouldn't have worked.

That's because the one on the lower level used to be a Software Etc. and the one on the 2nd level used to be a Funcoland.

I forget which city but there are two Starbucks directly across the street from one another. Apparently its so busy they had to make two stores so people wouldn't be deterred by long lines/busy stores. Also, people are hesitant to alter traffic patterns when it comes to work/break schedules.

On a related note, there's actually a shopping center near me (by Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover, MD), that has a Safeway with a starbucks in it, and then like two doors down, a stand-alone Starbucks...

When I lived in Indiana, we had a Starbucks in a Target, next door to a Starbucks in a Barnes and Nobles, both across the parking lot from a stand-alone drive-thru Starbucks. Not even across the street! Just across the parking lot.

That would be the proud city of Houston. The reason its like that is beacuse

1) Its a rather busy street thats way undersize for the amount of traffic it has during rush hour, so its a pain in the ass to drive across the street.

2) We like our coffee.

3) Its the end of the universe, according to Lewis Black

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island, NY (a fairly huge mall itself) has 2 EBs, as well. Dunno why.

There are duplicates of nearly all the stores in MoA because it's so damn hard to keep your bearings in there, that it's hard to find anything at all. Franchises pepper themselves throughout the mall to increase the chances of a shopper wandering by their store before they find a store of their competitor.

In Broward County, Sawgrass Mills is like a mile and a half long. But it's only one level. But I think it's the biggest mall down here. Aventura is big in the sense that it has a lot...of crap. But it's not like they can expand it or anything. Dadeland is big too, but I never go there. I know in Albany, Crossgates was the biggest thing around. It's not that big, but it's not exactly small either. Probably a bit bigger than Aventura. PEACE.
