Old Christmas commercials...

Ha ha - We have an outlet center about 15 minutes down the road. You're lucky to get a parking space at 4am on Black Friday. The Palisades Mall, which is one of the largest malls in the USA, is about 15 minutes in the other direction. You can just imagine the traffic in between!

I'm 10 minutes away from the Mall Of America!! You wanna talk about traffic?....YIKES!!!!

Insane. I avoid that area.

Actually, when it was built, the Palisades Mall was only second in size to the Mall of America! I don't know anymore if this is still true. It's funny because it's located only 20 miles from NYC. They run buses up from the city to the mall. This helps with the car traffic - but not the foot traffic at the mall itself.

The MOA is going to be expanding, and it will almost double in size. Not for a few years, but still.
