Saks Fifth Avenue

A luxury department store comparable in price and exclusivity to Neiman Marcus and Barneys New York. Most store locations are in either upscale malls or in high-end shopping districts of major cities. Saks Fifth Avenue is often considered to be the highest caliber of department stores, since many of the brands they carry are unique to Saks specifically or are found only in select locations throughout the United States (i.e. Etro, Prada, Jimmy Choo, etc.) Headquartered in New York City, Saks has been featured in numerous print ads and film for decades. It is also one of the oldest department stores in the United States.

Those who shop at Saks Fifth Avenue undoubtedly have a refined pallet for style and also have lots and lots of money to burn.

King of Prussia

The mecca of malls, located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. "K-O-P", as it is popularly known in the surrounding region, houses the largest collection of retail stores in the United States. It is also home to the only Neiman Marcus store in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. When upscale retailers decide to open a store in the Philadelphia region, King of Prussia is usually the first or second choice. Over the past 50 years, King of Prussia has grown into one of the most prominent edge cities on the East Coast.

Since the town of King of Prussia is virtually indistinguishable from the mall, the people who live there refer to themselves as living in Upper Merion Township to avoid confusion.

New Jersey

Land of conspicuous consumption, Italians, dark hair, guidos, aggressive drivers, malls, diners, high property taxes, heavily-accented syllables, jughandles and the infamous Jersey shore. I think that sums it up.

If you want to make sure that your mortgage payment is among the highest in the country, live in New Jersey.

The friendliest people are not found in New Jersey.
