I don't really care for Franklin Mills. The Boscov's anchor is a total mess and is falling apart and the "outlet" stores don't really have anything that great. The neighborhood is kind of questionable too.

I don't care for the new name myself (too many syllables!). I'll probably still refer to it as franklin mills.

The website for Franklin Mills/Philadelphia Mills is now http://www.philadelphiamills.com.  The AMC Theatre will still be called AMC Franklin Mills Mall 14 Theatre.
