Cute. When you've been caught making an idiotic and pompous statement,
scream "troll". Certainly easier than a lucid response and less
painful than admitting that you are a tight-ass loser wannabe who goes
around ****ing on anything successful.

Ah, but you didn't just limit yourself to that. You dissed all malls
and all shops in malls. And now you are backpedalling furiously.

Talk about ignorant. Actually, you probably know better, but now you
are trolling. If you truly believe that no mall anywhere has any
quality shops, then you are even dumber than I thought.

Just a few of the shops in some of the local malls include, in
addition to all of the big name department stores, Coach, Louis
Vuitton, Papyrus, Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, Cartier, Tiffany,
Brooks Brothers, Talbots, and Wilkes Bashford, just to name a few.

One mall has a specialty meat store that is excellent.

Well, I guess we know where your tastes lie.

Hey, didn't I see you in McDonalds the other day? I thought so.
