Growing up in the 70s and 80s, "going to the mall" was a huge part of my leisure experience…read more With Tyrone mall now being a just scary shell of it's former self, Countryside is the only indoor shopping mall left in Pinellas county where I can enjoy the nostalgia of my youth. I'm not able to go as much as I'd like, but a visit here at Christmastime is always quite enjoyable! This mall still has a decent occupancy rate, an acceptable food court, several sit-down dining options, a nice movie theater, and even an ice skating rink. The attached Whole Foods is also a plus, IF you can afford shopping there! (I always look online at their weekly sales items before I visit). Since so many of our former indoor malls have been converted to outdoor "strip malls," I'm very glad Countryside has so far survived the preference for online shopping and still exists!

We went last night and parked by JCPenneys we walked down to the opposite end of the Mall and sat before we walked back.. We reached Penney's to find it locked up at 8:00. Everything on line says they are open till 9:00. It was difficult for my husband to walk and we had a good distance to walk outside the mall to get to our car. We found an open door to Penney's and entered and were told to leave that they were closed and waiting for one customer to leave. I asked if we could go through to the other door and was told a definite no. I tried to explain my husband couldn't walk far and we were locked outside. So I'm writing this to warn anyone who is disabled that the mall closes at 8:00 now.

Countryside Mall is an easy five star shopping destination right in Clearwater, Florida. It's…read moreclean, well maintained, and has a great mix of stores that makes it simple to find just about anything you need or spend a relaxed day browsing. We loved the murals it had. The layout is easy to navigate, with a good balance of big name retailers and smaller shops throughout. Everything feels organized and convenient, so you're not constantly wandering around trying to figure out where things are. The food court is another solid highlight, offering a variety of quick and casual options. It's a great place to take a break during a shopping trip, grab a bite, and recharge before heading back out. Overall, Countryside Mall is a dependable and comfortable place to shop, eat, and hang out. It delivers a consistently good experience and is one of the better all-around malls in the Clearwater area definitely a five-star spot.

This location is very hit or miss-- it depends on the time of year and what you are looking for. I recommend looking through all the racks and areas to ensure you see all that was moved or different options. Sadly, this location the prices were still higher than what I would like to spend on specific items. However things due seem to be good value, especially the women's handbags. When I was in the store, I went for about 30 minutes and did not interact with any workers. However, the line to check out was very long. Overall I would go back to see what is available, but I won't get my hopes up.

We have a history with snacks from Japan, and we struck gold with Daiso in Clearwater FL!…read more This store advertises itself as a seller of Japanese household good, and we stopped in to see if they had any cute magnets we could get for a 2-year-old in the family. While we fanned out through aisles of kitchen and beauty products, useful gadgets and supplies, I went looking for snacks. I found wall refrigerators on the left near the front of the store filled with all sorts of beverages. I got a couple of canned and bottled coffee drinks, which we all agreed were nicely flavored and quite sweet. We got our favorite, Ramune: a mild tasty lemonade with a slight fizz. The bottle is unique, with a clear marble trapped in a little chamber that rattles when you drink or pour and is said to help keep the light carbonation longer. And it has a push-button top that you press in to open and to release the little ball into the bottle. I think the fun of opening it and hearing that rattle are a big part of the fun of drinking Ramune. There are several flavors, but we always get the original lemonade flavor. Nearby, I discovered a snack rack, and behind it there were at least two whole aisle-sections filled with every Asian snack and treat that I know! All flavors of Pockys! All flavors of filled Panda cookies! Crispy snacks with shrimp and fish and chicken flavors! And the candy from Japan that I look for everywhere, that is hard to find outside of Asian neighborhood stores in Chicago and NYC ... Botan Ame! It's little cubes of soft translucent rice-candy, very lightly flavored, and double-wrapped: the inner wrapper is melt-in-your-mouth rice paper! The flavor is said to be lemon, but only very mildly lemon orange (imitating pomelo fruit), very mildly creamy, very mildly rice-y. There are several flavors available, including strawberry or pomelo, but I've always gotten the original. It's gently chewy, originally meant to imitate the softness of caramel-candy, or you can try to wait and let the candy dissolve after the rice paper is gone, though i've never heard of anyone who waits that long before biting in :-). The closest candy texture that i know of is fresh soft Turkish delight. And similarly, Botan Rice Candy gets tougher if you leave it on the shelf a long time. I suppose it dehydrates a little. I read it was invented in 1924. Long ago we only saw the same candy called Tomoe Ame, and the brightly colorful red and green or red and blue box looked almost the same. Each box used to come with a little plastic or metal toy, but eventually that changed to temporary tattoos of cute cartoon characters. Nowadays I've seen Tomoe Ame in large bags, too, online. I was happily lost in the candy, snacks, and beverages, and have no idea what everyone else bought. I'm pretty sure we did come home with some stickers and magnets and maybe some little toys. I myself found my new source for good old rice candy! To (mis)quote Shakespeare, What's in a name? That which I call Tomoe Ame, by any other word would taste as (slightly) sweet :-)

I'm not sure I've seen a location this clean and organized. I'm used to them being a bit chaotic, merchandise left in places it doesn't belong, changing rooms that should be gutted... The changing rooms were free of crap, the people working were pretty nice, and there wasn't much in the way of stuff on the floor. Also, I'm not sure if it's because the store is new or this location is just getting better merchandise, but I actually found stuff I wanted to buy... And not just a shirt. More like $100+ of things I needed to fill my fairly sparse wardrobe.

I had a fantastic meal at Hurricane Eddie's--the steak and fries were cooked perfectly, and the drinks were top-notch. I also stopped by Kaia Bowls a couple of mornings for their açaí bowls, and they were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and a great way to start the day. We couldn't resist Mint Fox Cookies and Ice Cream either, and I'm glad we didn't--it was the perfect treat. The plaza also has a Stix Billiards and Arcade upstairs, which looked like a great place to hang out, along with several other retail shops to browse through. Next time I visit, I definitely want to check out the Comedy Club--it looked like a lot of fun. Overall, Pelican Walk Plaza is a lively, walkable destination with a great mix of food, fun, and shopping. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!
