High class furniture, we could *maybe* afford a small table here. Still, I aspire to be able to have some pieces from this store, and it's fun to window shop. Great taste, colors, and staff are friendly, don't mind wanderers.
A friend bought all her basement furniture for her kids here. They have some great, sturdy shelving and places to stash toys. Looks very nice, but I'm sure it cost an arm and leg. Hope her kids are gentle to it. Items here are very cute, if you have money to burn!

Hard to find parking and ritzy stores. Not the kind of place I come often. You can find a bargain at some of the shops (read: great clearance) but hard to run in and out of this mall.
Friendly staff and nice selection make this a good shop to go into. They have occasional sales, but other than that their prices are typical of retail jewelers. My hubby recently bought me a necklace here. They also will clean your ring anytime you want, great if you live close by and care about shiny rings.

Nice quality ice rink, they have hockey leagues and free skate times, too. Pretty expensive, especially if you're taking a bunch of kids. A once-in-a-while outing. Also have a fun arcade, but again, not cheap.
Quite a mix of stores, but it's too big to "run" to more than one store without making a big trip. Also, the prices aren't really that cheap. You can find a bargain, but it's not super easy to find in-fashion, high quality for cheap prices.

Good quality coats and other clothing for (slightly) lower prices. Mostly well-presented, some clearance racks. Great selection of outerwear, as you might expect. Got a Kenneth Cole winter coat for my husband for $100. Not a steal, per se, but a good price without waiting for a sale.
Great outlet location. You can depend on reasonable prices (even lower than most penneys) and sometimes a great steal on quality items. This was the closest penneys to us for years, so I really didn't know what the diffference was between this and a "real" penneys. It is less organized, more helter-skelter design and you may not find more than one of any item. Or, again, they might have 200 of a strange color/size. Still, I like it.

We enjoyed living here, most people were pretty friendly. There were some break-ins, nearby, though, and it seems like people move in and out a lot. It's becoming more gentrified - lots of condo conversions going on.
Nice family restaurant, plenty of seating. No smoking, if it matters to you, but it makes you feel right at home. Reasonable sit-down restaurant prices.
