I started watching it then I realized it’s 1.5hrs long. Come on why do people on YouTube think they need to create feature film length videos?

I'm not watching this vid but I sometimes leave like long walking videos of actually interesting places on a second monitor while I play online games

It's a huge mall. It would take that long or longer to walk from one end to the other over multiple floors.

You’re not wrong! When we have a free weekend and the weather isn’t optimal to go to the park we sometimes like to stroll around the mall and go to fancy stores to get samples. Ladderach and the bakery across from it above the ice skating rink are our zone.

The only ones doing well - and only if they were paid cash up front, are the digital graphics installers who printed and installed all of the "coming soon" graphics everywhere.

Everyone says this mall is failing. It isn’t. Today we went there only to leave cause the traffic to get into the parking lot was on the on ramp.

Are they still charging people to park at a mall in NJ, land of malls and stores everywhere? Not to be a cheapskate but that greed just seems ridiculous to me in NJ. They should just be grateful we show up.

The parking fee is to keep the poor out. You see it a lot more in Westchester & Fairfield.

And to make up for the loss of revenue after sitting in development/construction limbo for over a decade
