King of Prussia contains the largest shopping complex in the world...
Any sources for this claim? This page says it's the second biggest, after the Mall of America in Minneapolis (4.2 million square feet; KoP has 2.8m, I believe). As noted at Mall of America, even that huge mall is dwarfed by the West Edmonton Mall in Alberta (5.3m sq ft). And they're building an even bigger one (the Mall of Arabia) in Dubai.
(later: This says that KoP is the biggest if you count the Court and Plaza together. It'd be good to have some figures, though.) Marnanel 03:16, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)
--I believe KoP is the biggest on the East Coast. It is certainly not nearly as large as MoA, even if you include both Court and Plaza.
I regret to inform you that the photo that you are showing is not the relocated King Of Prussia Inn. While I can not identify the buildiing in the photo I can assure you it is not the relocated King Of Prussia Inn where I am sitting while I write this.

[edit] KoP Mall vs. Mall of America
Clarification: The Mall of America in Minneapolis is the largest mall in the U.S. - in terms of total square footage. This includes all of the "attraction" space. However, in terms of pure retail space, the KoP Mall is larger. This can be easily verified.
[edit] Publisher
Was there a major publisher located there? I looked this up for that reason, but unfortunately have misplaced the document that initiated my search.. —DIV (128.250.204.118 10:26, 3 November 2007 (UTC))
[edit] K.O.P.
Someone deleted this phrase: --Residents often refer to King of Prussia in print as "KoP" or "K of P", and in conversation as "K.O.P."-- with the explanation that it is irrelevant, but I thought it was actually useful information. Does anyone agree or disagree?--Sam927 (talk) 20:56, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
