Like, ohmygod, everything is totally in a mall!

I don't know if The Valley really was the birthplace of the mall, but it is definitely the mall's home turf. Literally everything is in a mall here - or at least a mini-mall/plaza. There are no standalone grocery stores or Targets or drug stores (a few big boxes like Home Depot), they are all in malls or plazas. Nail places, hair salons, even upscale restaurants.
