(The name of this mall is the same as the Trumbull mall in Connecticut - so I am wondering if the same company was involved in developing both of them.)
The architectural design of the interior of this mall was stunning. I can't ever remember wanting to take pictures of a mall before. The photos below will show you exactly what I mean.
If you click on each picture, the picture will enlarge, and you will get more of a sense of how it felt to be in the mall.
This was the pathway leading into the mall -- all lit up for Christmas.
Once inside, we were struck by the beautiful lines and circles.
These trees were lit for Christmas decorations - and the effect was beautiful. The ceiling was also very impressive.
This is where the children went to see Santa Claus. It was called Santa's Wish Kingdom, and it looked as if it were made of icicles.
The mall contained most high-line brand name stores - and was obviously aiming at a special crowd. There were several restaurants on the ground level. On the upper levels there were smaller areas selling food and drinks. One concession was run by Marks & Spencer, offering delicious sandwiches, wraps, and desserts. In another area, there was a wine bar; and most of the stools were filled with shoppers sipping their wine. Dotted throughout the mall were seating areas with very comfortable chairs and sofas for those weary family members who preferred to wait outside the shop -- or for those shoppers who just wanted to sit and contemplate what to purchase next.
This is a place that deserves more exploration in future visits.
