I'd describe the Mall as "Nicey, Nicey, Pricey, Pricey." As far as "ambiance" goes, it is the best I've ever seen. The Food Courts are fabulous, but Panera is my favorite. That said, as far as real shopping goes, I do mine in the Big Box stores or online instead of paying Mall prices for the same purchases.

Shopworn, prone to mechanical malfunctions in its escalators, a hang out for rowdy middle- & high schoolers, too many "urban" themed stores attracting a clientele Jim Rouse would not have wanted in his worst nightmare. Premier mall in the country? Brook, I don't know what you're smoking, but it's time to quit!

Best mall in the entire county. Although not quite as big as the monstrosity one county over (Arundel Mills), the stores and clientele here are still a step ahead. They have just about everything you want (except a toy store) and have a family-friendly atmosphere.

The big minus is that this place can get severely congested, particularly on weekends and holidays. Be prepared to fight for a parking spot or just park really far away. Even inside you have to deal with a ton of people and it can get crowded. Still, if you want to go to a nice indoor mall and get some shopping done, I'd go here before any other nearby.
