Get the all-singing, all-dancing mug.A big ass piece of shit. This mall is the infection of the small town in Mississippi, known as Gautier (go-shay). It's failing attempt at redeeming itself by banning all teenagers are their most busiest days, Fridays and Saturdays, brought failed effort to the ever chance of bringing the mall alive again. Nowadays the mall is filled with closed down stores, Ex: Sound Shop, Walden Books, etc, etc. Nothing is left there except mall rats who just walk laps around the once mall, now a long hallway. This is severe bullshit, and an upgrade is severely required.
