There are some wonderful shops including Janie and Jack, Hanna Anderson, GAP, and Primark. The mall is usually clean, and the food court is decent. There's also a terrific antique two-level carousel for children to enjoy. Parking during the weekends can be a nightmare!
I like Macy's, but that department store is nearly impossible to shop, especially with a stroller or a mobility aid for a disabled person. There is no walkway, and clothing racks are pushed together, becoming hazardous.
Lord and Taylor is small and lacks a children's section, which is a shame. Sadly, there is no Nordstrom! An eBar would be fantastic!
If you have a child, there are two free play areas, one is upstairs, and the other is downstairs. Unfortunately, many parents don't watch their bullying children. One rule that should be made is that no outside toys should be brought into the play areas. Young don't understand that they are not part of the play equipment, and the issue of sharing can be problematic. One young boy found a rubber ball, about the size of a baseball that another child had forgotten. He carelessly threw it around, nearly hitting a newborn baby on the head. There is a safer play area that is better monitored in the lower level, but you have to pay an admission fee.
One major obstacle that I have to contend with when shopping in the lower level are some pushy kiosk workers, specifically the hair straightener/curler kiosk, where a female employee with long red hair will harass shoppers in order to sell a product. She blocked my path and rudely interrupted a conversation that I was having with my young son, and another time I faked a phone call, and she still tried to interrupt the "talk." For this reason, I no longer utilize the lovely glass elevators in the middle of the mall. No shopper should be harassed!
Overall a fine mall but could be better with stroller/disability accessible stores, non-harassing kiosk workers, safer better monitored free play areas, and perhaps a Nordstrom with an e-Bar, but that last request is too greedy.
