text: I am not a middle aged mall rat so I do not have a great appreciation for this classic American past time I must say in all fairness that the Paradise Valley Mall PV Mall has cleaned up their act in the last few years The mall has a great play area for kids with slides and other rides They even have a kids train per ticket that is fun to do oncennThe quality of the stores is not equivalent to the Chandler Mall or Fashion Square but they do have a Macys Dillards JC Penny and other specialty stores Most of the eyesore stores have left the mall nnIt is secure and clean Parking is ample It now has a Chompies and Costco which means that I actually go there more than once a year nnIf you need to get you inner mall rat feed this is the place for you
