Is it necessary to have this many pictures of NorthPark Center Most major malls have only one picture of the mall and NorthPark Center being not too notable nationwide has 5 Shrek05 14 31 26 Jun 2006 While NorthPark may not yet be notable nationwide I don t see any reason not to have the pictures of the mall for this reason the mall is the largest in Texas at 2 35 million square feet and one of the five largest in the US according to the International Council of Shopping Centers Consequently the pictures give readers of Wikipedia a view of how a quarter billion dollars was spent in its recent expansion With the 1 4 acre Center Park in the middle NorthPark also becomes the only mall in the nation with a sizeable outdoor area for eating playing or relaxing At one time shortly after its opening by Raymond Nasher the mall also held the distinction of being largest air conditioned building in the entire world picture rendering under Thunderbird looks all wrong The pictures on this page come out all wrong when viewed with Thunderbird I m using ver 1 5 0 4 under Windows XP It looks fine in Internet Explorer v 6 0 same OS Looking at the page source it seems like more of a problem with Thunderbird or the CSS for same but I m no web developer Leaving a note here in the hope that someone more skilled might find it and fix it Fountains It s been probably a year since I last visited but one of the major interior architectural features has always been the fountain with colored lights and another feature I can t describe well sort of a mini pond with a bridge Unusual features worth mentioning very briefly Incidentally having looked at the existing pictures only one of which is at all attractive or unique I think we d do better to find or snap a good picture of the fountains instead I d have to look into whether there are any restrictions on taking pictures I once had problems taking pictures inside a supermarket for my Spanish class they thought I was some sort of corporate spy Lacoste If I can afford it it s secondary Gucci Gucci is located in the Galleria and not in NorthPark It is moving to NorthPark Preceding unsigned comment added by talk contribs Major Edit 3 26 2007 Staff Email I contacted NorthPark Center staff asking them to release some images of the mall into GNU license since the mall recently underwent construction and could use some new photos What I got in return was neither photos nor permission but a revised version of the Wikipedia article deemed to be factually correct by their staff A full copy of the email is provided Most of the email has been transplanted into the article with a few exceptions as some parts did not meet Wikipedia s standards of notability or NPOV The biggest omission is the list of stores exclusive to NorthPark The information does not appear to be notable The introduction claims NorthPark Center is one of the top five shopping mall s in the United States but it appears to be outdated because the List of largest shopping malls in the United States would rank the mall as 7 in the US based on Gross Leasable Area The infobox has been updated to match up with the International Council of Shopping Centers data rather than the figures currently displayed on NorthPark Center s website There s still a lot that violates NPoV here I slapped the neutrality tag on it GPS coordinates I think the coordinates are 32 868594 96 773200 for someone who understands the GPS template Preceding unsigned comment added by 20 132 68 133 Largest in Texas User Aidenfash continues to claim that NothPark is the largest in Texas yet the sources provided by the mall itse
