I like hooters  though it sounds a lot different  when I say  so much in fact that if I asked for directions they wouldn't get it  lol

They serve chowda and they do featcha fresh caught lobster and shrimp flown in daily from our own Lake Minnitonker! Sustainable fahming raht hear at home!

This mall seems to be standard issue.  Nobody has mentioned anything that I can't get or eat at home.  I will still go of course.  lol  I may even buy something at sephora.  But I can eat buffalo wild wings and get something from Brookstone in Boston lol.  For the record the rain forest cafe sucks. Perhaps I will stumble across something unique later today when I arrive.  😊

It was a giant exhibit dedicated to Barbie. It is actually now closed while they set up the next exhibit.

I find them all very annoying lol

Can't advise you on the sweat except to perhaps exercise more but there are signs that tell you where everything is. Pretty easy to get from point A to point B.

... every store and point of interest, at least to poke our heads in so we could say we saw it. After a very long day we gave up after seeing about 80% of it. Since then, it's undergone two major expansions. So, there's no way one could take it all in during one or even several visits. I compare it to Disney World or Las Vegas; you accept that you'll never see  everything it has to show you but you just decide to keep returning and keep experiencing as much as you can, if that's your thing. I was always puzzled that they didn't include at least a couple of hotels attached to the MOA when it was first built and amazed that it took until their second expansion to finally add...one. Even tho there are many hotels in very close proximity to MOA and parking in the ramps is free, I would be much more likely to spend more time there if I could just get a room attached to it and come and go as I pleased.

I worked at that joint for 10 years.  I could give you the full tour up/down/in/out and tell you the full story of what it was like to be locked down there on 9/11 and the other day the place was locked down/closed due to the felon guy that was loose and thought to be in the mall plus a million other wild stories.
