MALLOHOLICS: Not only did South Coast Plaza enhance its position as the Southland’s most popular mall last year (D1), but shoppers also spend more money and more time per visit there than at any other mall in Orange County. . . . People average more than 2 1/2 hours wandering through the Costa Mesa complex; their purchases averaged $113 (above). Least popular? Anaheim Plaza, where shoppers spent little more than an hour and about $40 per trip.
