LOL yeah some cities are neatly organized, others... not so much. :)<br/><br/>In general, "Department stores" typically have neatly-ordered 'sections' for men's clothing, women's, sporting goods, automotive, hardware, etc.<br/><br/>But malls themselves generally aren't "themed", as Luna said. Most of the time, there will be a 'food court' which has a collection of eateries, but even then, there still might be a few eating joints spread around the rest of the mall.<br/><br/>Most US malls, I believe, have 2-6 "anchor" stores, that are the BIG department stores. (Macy's, Sears, JCPenny's, Kohl's, Nordstroms, etc), and usually those are not next to each other but spread around the location of the mall, and the space filled in between them by all those smaller specialty shops.<br/><br/>I worked at a mall for about 5 years back in the 90's. That's the main reason I try to avoid malls nowadays, and they might have changed since then. :)<br/>
