Concord Mills

Alrighty, so I've already talked about my thoughts on Northlake Mall (the post is here!)... and now it's time to discuss Concord Mills. Now, while it isn't a two-story mall, it is ridiculously gigantic!!! The ceilings are also very high, as if they might plan to one day put in a second story, so it gives the mall a very open feel. I have not really been in Concord for shopping per se, but more for walking around to take up time before a movie at the amazing AMC theatre that is attached to it.

I like to think that this mall is definitely more family friendly than Northlake... not that Northlake didn't have play areas and whatnot, but the types of stores seem to have a broader age range to appeal to. Also, the signs are bigger and more colorful, and there is a small train (I think?) that runs through it. There's a lego store, although I know I'm in there being facinated just as much as the kids are. Wes, the boyfriend, took me into an amazing store called Candy World, and everything is at children eye level. Who can resist that place? Did I mention that the last time I was there, there was a dinosaur by the food court?! If I would not have been banned for doing so, I would have tried to sit on it.

Wes also took me to Bass Pro shop. Now, I'm not an outdoors-y kind of girl, but I'm willing to try anything once. I just don't like sun burn, bugs, bug bites, bugs buzzing in my ears, sleeping on the ground, bugs, living out stereotypical horror movie scenes, poison anything, being eaten by large animals, and did I mention bugs? I also don't look forward to trying to pee in the woods. Yes, I know, I'm a big ol' baby. But for him, and so other people can't grumble at me for never trying (my poor friend Meghan has been trying to get me to camp out for over a decade!), I will go camping one day in the near future. Believe me, I'll be posting about that event immediately. I'll definitely be shopping at Bass Pro when the time comes, though, because they pretty much have every single thing you'd ever need.. including small toilets! I'm saved!

The one store that I would suggest the most is Earthbound. It's a bit hippie/bohemian/etc., but I love it! They also have some anatomy-inspired stuff, masquerade masks, chemistry flasks.. a little eclectic for sure, but all my kinds of stuff. <3

Other stores to check out:
  • Disney Store (Yay!)
  • Forever 21 (More like, Forever Lost)
  • Hot Topic
  • Books-A-Million (simply because I'm a book lover)
