I can't tell you how surprised I was at how quickly this went up, and how many stores there are. I used to be in Weymouth fairly often, and the location was a sad Building 19, with an abandoned Bradlees on one side and another similarly sad building on the other, in the middle of an enormous empty lot. A while back I noticed signs from the highway for Barnes & Noble and Crate & Barrel, and finally one night drove in to check it out. The Shoppes at Derby Street is one of the nicest outdoor malls I've seen in quite a while - there are over 75 stores, in a big U-shape, with plenty of parking and several restaurants. The stores are large and well stocked, some well known chains (Talbots, Coldwater Creek) and some that I haven't seen elsewhere (Pretty in Pink, Shoe Market, Social Graces); there is also a wine store, Panera Bread, and a Whole Foods market, so you could get a great deal accomplished. This was a great shopping trip, would definitely do it again! http://www.thederbystreetshoppes.com/
