Yes, it's right at the Thruway exit for Walden Ave, right on the edge of the east side of the city. Walden leads right in to one of the rougher areas of Buffalo.

Funniest thing I ever saw at this mall; about 20 years ago, a teenage girl and an older woman were sitting in the food court. A group of 4 teenage hood types came over to a table right next to them and started harassing them, saying some pretty nasty stuff to the younger girl. The area was pretty empty at the time and I was at a point where I was going to go look for security, when this really huge guy came walking over with a tray of food. Turned out he was with the two girls, and he obviously heard some of what they were saying. He calmly sets down the tray with the girls, turns to the hoods, and loudly asked which one wanted to die first. The look on their face was absolutely precious, eyes bulging from their heads as they looked up at him, they quickly scampered off. I went over as I was leaving and mentioned I was glad he showed up when he did. Turns out, it was Mike Rockwood from the Buffalo Bills.
