Someone changed the header paragraph to say that Concord Mills is the largest shopping mall in North Carolina; it is not. As I'd originally written, Winston-Salem's Hanes Mall is the largest. From the Salisbury Post:

As a shopper goes through Concord Mills for the first time, he probably won’t be able to imagine a bigger place, but the fact is it [is] only be the second largest mall in North Carolina. At 1.4 million square feet, it trails Winston-Salem’s Hanes Mall, which has 1.8 million square feet. Charlotte’s SouthPark mall measures 1.2 million square feet.

[edit] introduction

i cleaned up the intro paragraph, to make it easier to read and remove unnecessary information.

for example, the fact that southpark is 2nd in size implies it is larger than concord mills, so the phrase that followed explaining that was unnecessary. also i removed the sentence saying no differentiation was made in the visitor statistics between local and "those who travelled a distance" as it, too, was unnecessary and gratuitous.
