To the original OP question. Because the rich brats that shop at Southpark are usually at home with the Nanny. "Skylar" and "Mary Ann Catherine" are Southpark kids born and raised and since this is the case they probably have their own play area right in the middle of their Southpark McMansion.

So, maybe it just doesnt cross my mind. At Fiesta whatever its called in Fort Mill, there is a huge fenced play area, i surely thought it was for parents to release their children while they shopped. Not my cup of tea though.

Oh, and Yoforia sounds GREAT. We had a place called Menchies just like that in FL! I'll have to check it out!
Lol, I've lived in that in that alternate S. Fl universe too.
Plaza Fiesta freaks me out. I was there once and vowed to never do it again when I had to climb that monstrosity to save my kid. Ugh.
All the area mall play areas are the type that you have to stay and supervise your kid/s, at least I think they are. I've never heard of a place where you could leave your kids and shop - unless it's called "Grandma's House"
Where's Menchies? I haven't heard of that - but I left S.Fl in '91 (however, I do go down at least once a year to see my folks).

Why all of the animosity for the Southpark mall? I really do not get it.

Menchies is in Pembroke Pines off of Pines blvd and Hiatus in the new .. promenade.. cant quite think of the name. Theres a Five Guys and Pei Wei, and Panera Bread there. Its a very new shopping center, maybe built within the past 2 years. But menchies is good.

Not so much animosity but rather slight disgust. I worked over there for several years and got to see first hand spoiled unappreciative kids along with bad parenting. Most of the customers I worked with at Southpark seemed to have a sense of entitlement (this includes the kids as well)....something tells me the reason might be the demographics.

That's not too far from my parents - I'm so there over Xmas...especially if there's a Five Guys
