on 8/2/2008 Hello,
Thank you for your educational video. In a very short period of time answered a lot of my questions. I wanted to point out a possible error in the video Transcript Section- should it be "The Fashion Center Information Kiosk" and not "Ikea Center" I just tried researching it for trip and was a little confused. I really enjoyed the video!!!!!!!!!!!!
