What is the closest mall to your house?

I had a great day shopping today, even with my kiddies along. Got me to thinking how I take my malls for granted. My friend lives over an hour away from the closest mall, and it's a dinky one at that. I live within 20 minutes of 3 major shopping malls. The one I went to today (King of Prussia) is the largest mall on the East Coast.
So- what is the closest mall to your house? I'm not talking little strip malls, I'm talking big enclosed malls with at least 100 stores.

I think the closest mall to me is 15 minutes away. The reason I don't know is because I don't drive and must take the bus or the van service everywhere. It's enclosed but only has 20 or so stores in total, plus a food court and movie theater. It's a single floor mall. I live about 30 minutes away from a multi-floor mall, which doesn't have a movie theater. I don't go there often; I like the small mall better.

I live in Toledo, OH and there used to be 4 nice sized malls in the area. I'm not sure how many stores any of them had. 2 of them are now closed and a third has very few stores. The forth one is expanding in the near future and is less than 5 minutes from where I live. I do not go near it unless it's to go to the movies or to one of the restaurants and they can be entered from outside the mall. I do not like the crowds there or the high prices.

...Shopping at a mall is almost obsolete. I shop online for most of what I need. I work at a store on the circle around a mall and there are several shopping centers with in minutes of where I live.
...We are spoiled with too many choices. I feel for my friend in Nigeria who makes $10/month and can only afford to eat twice a day. There are many people who have less than he does, too.
...Shopping is over rated.
...Have a great day and peace be with you. =(^;^)= Della

Sorry della, I can't quite agree with you. I love to shop. I do shop online a lot but I hate buying clothes online- it's a pain not to try things on. I love my big mall. I get happy as soon as I walk in! I'm sorry about your friend in Nigeria, I juts can't relate to that and it really has nothing to do with this post.
Peace.

The closest mall to me is about 45 mins. away, its Woodland Hills Mall. I don't ever go there, most of the stores are too expensive, and theres way to many people there for me. I made a mistake one time and went close to Christmas, I'll never do that again....lol. There were so many people I just about went nuts...There is one store there that I will go to and its Jcpenney, we have one in my area but its a small store and they don't have that much of a selection on anything. Thats the only reason I would go to the mall.

I live a few miles away from the closest one here and we have another one a few miles in the other direction. We got strip malls all over the place and more coming everyday, too many IMO. But they are always full and always busy so I guess they know something that don't.

The mall which is closest to me is a small one but it basically has almost everything we need. I don't walk in that mall that often though, because whenever I go on a shopping tour, I would go for the bigger ones which offer more choices. For this close mall, I only walk around it when I get really bored at the house and want to walk around and check out something.

the closet mall to me is about 30 mins away. I don't really like going there that often since it is always so crowded and there aren't that many stores there that I like.

The closest mall to me is Shortpump which is outside of Richmond Virginia. It's basically an outdoor shopping center although it's a mall setting and parts of it are indoors. It is beautiful,but I dont go there very often. It is very expensive and I dont like to spend alot of money.
