Don't anyone panic, but this looks as if it could actually qualify as the first "lifestyle" center.

Why is that everytime I go there I never find a parking spot. But it isn't often that I go there. I mean I can't exactly afford the over-priced and over-bloated crap nor would I want to pay the prices if I could afford it.
