King of Prussia Mall - only a bus ride with a junkie hooker away

I've been extremely lax in my blog - and I apologize. But I have a new job starting this Monday and it requires effort to be back in the 9-5 working world. Effort such as buying new clothes. And to buy new clothes I made the sacrifice and went on a pilgrimage to mecca (no disrespect intended it's just that if you prayed to the god of consumerism then this is your temple) - or as others may know it "King of Prussia Mall."

Facts:

• King of Prussia Mall is the largest mall on the East Coast.
• The Mall is divided into two sections: the Plaza and the Court.
• The Plaza side opened in 1963.
• There are over 400 stores and restaurants. Most of them upscale ie Betsy Johnson, Stuart Weitzman, chick-fil-a...
• It is a real pain in the ass to get there from the city.
• There actually was a King of Prussia. Many of them, I imagine. However, the name originates from an 18th century local tavern called "The King of Prussia Inn" named after Frederick II, King of Prussia.

Location:
King of Prussia Mall is located at 160 North Gulf Road. You can take a bus (but DON'T). If you do (DON'T) you can catch the 124 or the 125 from Market Street. There is no train that takes you there directly.

Do:

• Try their iphone app. Because shopping can never be too pretentious.

Don't:

• Take the bus. No, really, please - DON'T DO IT.  Ask a friend for a ride because taking the local bus is:
• a) long 
• b) not always on time 
• c) awkward when you are trying to avoid the junkie hooker's eyes.

PS. In an effort to be honest - that bus ride described above was actually taken this summer. Today I drove.
