HNoon: RiverPark Square Kudos

Moscow Minidoka: RiverPark Square is “the most pleasant one to visit.” I didn't say I go there to meet my basic needs. My wife's parents live in Spokane. When we visit, it's a nice treat to leave the kids with the in-laws and get a meal and movie in downtown Spokane. I think that the restaurants in the surrounding area are pretty decent, and the movie theater is nice for a megaplex. Yes, there are many “high-end” retailers at RiverPark Square, but I'm not there to buy $150 pants. I'm there to people watch, enjoy the ambiance, and to maybe buy a pair of nice slacks for work on sale at The Gap or Macy's. In general, I don't shop at the malls in Spokane/CDA. So when I do go to the mall, I like it to be a pleasant experience. Each time I've gone to NorthTown or the Valley Mall, they've been overrun by idle teenagers and hoodlums. That's not usually the case at RiverPark Square.

Question: Which Inland Northwest mall is your favorite? Why?
