Stylish, classy and upscale. Fashion Valley has been around forever (circa 1970), but you'd never know because its been updated nicely over the years.

Parking prognosis:
Plentiful. Multi-level garages surround the mall on all sides. If you're familiar with the area, the Friar's Road (north) side can get congested - you're better off parking in the garages on the south side. There's also a large public transit terminal including bus and trolley service.
