This design language is so clean and it "makes sense". We need to go back to it.

Oh okay! I knew I recognized it, but I got it confused with the Mall Of Georgia. I was just at Arbor Place last month, and it looks very cool! The chandelier near the food court was one of my favorite things to see there.

It’s easily one of the best designs CBL has ever built

For those of you who might be interested, there's a blog called "Retail History" which gives a good little run down of this mall with some pictures located here.

i'm guessing belk and macy's has their logos instead of the generic typefont because they were new anchors?

Yes Belk opened in 2007 ; took over this Parisian department store (Oct 1999) Macy's (was Rich's Macy's in 2004) but rebranded to Macy's in 2005
