Outlet malls – Potomac Mills & Leesburg(VA) – Part 1

Please visit http://www.ourtripvideos.com/index.php?idx=91&itm=180 for full video and more free videos. You will find full description on the web site.

An outlet store or factory outlet or “Best Saving Outlet” is a retail store in which manufacturers sell their stock directly to the public through their own branded stores. Often these stores are grouped together in outlet malls. The invention of the retail outlet store is often credited to Harold Alfond, founder of the Dexter Shoe Company.

Clothing, sporting goods, electrical products, cosmetics, and toys are among the types of items sold at outlet malls.

Outlet malls first appeared in the US as a development of the traditional factory outlet: a store attached to a factory or warehouse. An outlet mall places several such outlets under one roof in a convenient location, usually an “out-of-town” site. The out-of-town site minimizes overhead costs.

Although Canada has its own outlet malls, American outlet malls located in border states have become tremendously popular with Canadians engaging in cross-border shopping.

Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection (Another Unboxing?)

August 29, 2009 - 5:38 pm 25 Comments

Hello everyone here is my unofficial tribute to “Porn 4 Geeks!”: Another Unboxing of Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection!

I used to play Metal Gear for NES when I was younger and I dabbled a little in MGS for PSOne. When I got a PS2, I purchased MGS2: Sons of Liberty. I ing hated Sons of Liberty! I thought it was the most boring, overrated game ever.

Forward 7 years later, MGS4 for PS3 has got me wanting to give the Metal Gear Solid franchise another chance. So as a result, I went out and bought the Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection at my neighborhood electronic retail store.

From what I’ve been told, this collection is by far the best game collection out there. Regardless, it should prove to be “essential” for anyone needing a MGS refresher. Also, I couldn’t resist after seeing the total price for all 3 ($30)! Any one of these games alone can be worth between $15-$60 and sometimes more.

Anyway, this compilation will be eating up the next several weekends/weeknights of my life so this may be the last ty video of mine for a while-Hope U Enjoy!
