Our Small is Your Mall?

When I moved to The Electric City seems like the mall had about four stores and a twin-theater ... including a Sears on one end and a Belk's on the other. All that's changed now: I think there's 10 stores and a foodcourt.

Consider that West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta Canada is the world's biggest shopping mall:

over 800 stores
58 entrances
20,000 parking spaces
26 movie theatres
23,500 employees
In floor space, it takes up 115 football fields

Adds a whole new dimension to squinting across the parking lot and mumbling, "Honey, do you remember where we parked the car?"
