I grew up in Rocklin, California, so just 30 minutes out from Sacramento. Rocklin's sister city, Roseville, has this beautiful mall called the Westfield Galleria Mall which boasts many stores, a HUGE theater, a variety of eateries, attractions for young kids, and so much more. I moved to Rocklin when I was 9 and have loved this mall since. When picking a setting for this game, I knew I had to go with the mall I grew up knowing and loving!
