From a female TV wannabee's perspective...I live near Woodfield Mall which for those of you on TOTV who are familiar with Chicago is a very large mall -- Sears, Penneys, Nordstroms, Macys, plus about 190 smaller stores. For as close as I live to Woodfield Mall, I probably only shop there 3 or 4 times a year, and never from mid-November to Dec. 24 -- too darn crowded and parking is a nightmare. For example, this is early August, and the last time I shopped in Woodfield was in early April right before Easter. So if I had to drive 15-20 miles to the nearest mall in Ocala it would not be a serious inconvenience for me. Love the online shopping and shopping via HSN and QVC. If/When I do move to TV, I would miss having an Apple store and IKEA close by.
During my visits to TV, I have found the shopping situation to be quite adequate. As far as outlet shopping goes, I think Orlando has better (more convenient) outlet shopping than Chicago does. Just my 2 cents.
