  • Personally I have never been to the mall of America but it seems fun and I would like to go someday with my family or friends. I perfer online shoppping as it makes things easier but in some situations I do think malls or stores are better like when buying clothes or maybe sports gear. 

  • My favorite malls are the one outdoors one where you get to get fresh air while shopping. I like going to malls most of the times. Yes, I have been to the Mall of America. My favorite store would be Under Armor because it just has the clothes I like to wear and I like their hoodies.

    • I do like strip malls. but i am not a big fan of online shopping.

  • im surprised malls haven't existed for that long, from the 1940s to now isn't that long. I woud've assumed they have been around for much longer than that. I haven't been to a lot of malls, so I don't think I could pick a favourite! I think I do prefer going to phsyical stores, though.
