We went to the Park Meadows one. I remember once was summer 07 and the other time must have been last February. We also went to the one in Colorado Springs but that was a week day. Maybe we just got lucky but it was deserted compared to the one in Fountain Valley I go to in OC.

TeeHee.... that's why we retired to COLO SPGS.

Costco back in Fairfax, VA was like the one described in the other post where you need a cattle prod to navigate in-store. Hated the place for that reason only. We've one Costco now, getting another one here in COLO SPGS just off I-25 and N. Nevada Ave, due this fall.

I love Park Meadows Mall, we got our Apple iMacs there. Now we have an Apple store here in COLO SPGS.

Haven't been to the area of Orange County since attending the Rose Bowl Parade and Football Game, back about 1995 or so. Lovely area, great climate, but too expensive for us, so here we are in COLO SPGS.
