This is a late stage mall build for sure. It was filtering a time when malls were still popular but were definitely starting to wane in popularity. It tries to incorporate the main street idea, the indoor mall idea, as well as the drive-up, single company building styles but all in one area. It's great if you've got the day to kill but it makes it slightly inconvenient to maneuver in between a lot of excess parking and then lack thereof alternatively.
