I live in Southern California suburbia. The nearest true city center is an hour metro train ride away, while the nearest mall is a ten minute drive. For me (and millions of others here) the malls are more convenient.

- ryanhuff 13y agoAgreed. Some very popular malls in socal are of the open-air variety. I was replying to the parent, who mentioned "city center".
