The Pru, as old-timey locals call it, is one of Boston’s tallest buildings. The Shops, on the other hand, are more like Copley Place’s little sister…sure, there are some gems, like Free People, L’Occitane, and the soon-to-open Mango, but for the most part, this is your typical mall, made a bit less typical by the facts that a) it’s connected by skybridge to Copley Place, b) it’s shaped like a starfish, and c) it’s right in the heart of the Back Bay.
