rebuttal
well it seems that i have some opposing opinions (well just 1 for now) about my review for Southcoast Plaza and the rating that i gave it. if you read David's blog, he responds to what i wrote about "his" mall. well, all i have to say about that is we all have differing opinions about what constitutes a good mall, and one of my criteria is that it has to have a good food court. one could argue that this is a high quality mall filled w/ high quality stores...but c'mon now, walking all day around a mall that huge would make anybody hungry, and i dunno bout anybody else, but i would rather spend my money in those stores than shell out a pretty penny to dine at one of those sit-down restaurants. when it comes to malls, if i get hungry, im satisfied eating a hot dog on a stick or some sort of pseudo-chinese food. although this mall does have a mcdonalds and a del taco, it lacks the choices that one would normally get from the traditional food court. so in conclusion...i shall say, you can have a mall with all the stores that you would want, but without a food court, it aint nothing. =)

well, this should be my last blog til after christmas, since leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow (today) to spend the holiday...woohoo, nothing for me to do there yet (6 1/2 months left). i shall return next thursday, so while i'm gone, make me happy and sign my guestbook =). merry christmas to all and to all a good night...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)
