There is a hotel and large name stores such as Whole Foods, The Cheesecake Factory, and various others. It's a beautifully maintained area and very pedestrian friendly. People have the option to live, work, and play right in this area. There's a wide selection to choose from, you don't have to leave the area if you don't want to. Parking can be found on street and two garages, all metered but affordable. There are bright murals throughout. A movie theater and a library are within walking distance. There are events such as live music. There are quite an array of things to do and eat and all in walking distance. The area can be busy but for a good reason. I find myself there quite often and enjoy the amenities.

I ventured out with my kids to check it out. They thought I was crazy but went with me to see what I was taking about. They both were amazed how big these cream puffs are and the filling is so fresh. I told them the 1st time ever having them was at the Big E back in the day. With today being the opening day for the Big E it was an added touch to the West Hartford community to have a visit from Chaz. Next best thing to driving up to West Springfield tonight. Chaz was so photogenic and super nice and thank you for making my afternoon. I plan to get more cream puffs on Wednesday when I go which is also Connecticut Day at the Big E.

(Paul McCartney) Nordstrom Rack sells discounted high-end products in a multitude of categories such as men's, women's and children's clothes, shoes, handbags, jewelry, accessories, home and kitchenware, and health and beauty aids. They claim you can save up to 70 percent off regular prices. The store was well stocked and very neat when we shopped today. I didn't find anything I wanted, but my wife did. We'll be attending a Charity Banquet and Ball in a few weeks, and she was looking for a dress to wear. She found a beauty - a nice red Calvin Klein dress stickered at $134 but tagged at just $49.97. That's 62% off. Customer service was great. When we went to the register to pay, we saw a minor stitching defect at the back of the dress. Our cashier arranged for a runner to head back to the rack with us and we found the exact same dress in perfect condition. No complaints at all.

Impressions: I like Bishops Corner. If you wanna grab food, go shopping, fill up your gas tank and have coffee, this is the center for it!

Bishop's Corner has limited shopping, but is filled with restaurants. In terms of shopping, there is a Marshall's, Walmart Neighborhood Center, and Maximum Beverage (a liquor store). There's various restaurants, including Noodles and Company, Qdoba (the only one I know of in the area) and Blue Plate Kitchen. There's a lot of other retailers and restaurants in the strip malls on all sides of Bishop's Corner. Overall, it's very well-kept. Bishop's Corner looks very nice and updated. The only down side I can see to this place is that the parking situation is kind of awkward for most part of Bishop's Corner.

They currently have the end of summer, yellow tag clearance, across the whole store. There are so many great bargains everywhere. They have shoes, tops and dresses for $10 - $13. Of course the regular priced items are also bargains in comparison to other retailers. I especially liked their furniture section. Certain sections are very messy, and others are a bit more orderly. Unfortunately the associates working here could use some training on how to be more professional. This is a well stocked Marshalls with a large assortment of items.

Also, Burlington Coat Factory, is almost at the same plaza as the mall, maybe a mile away. Here you can find kids clothes, toys, shoes, home items, kitchen gadgets, accessories, and more. Certain areas are very messy and cluttered, and other areas are much more organized. They also have a case where they keep some odd luxury items, like Gucci or Valentino, and other similar brands. If these items interest you, it may be worth going to Backstage for this reason, as they don't supply these items at Burlington. I'm usually only there because I'm waiting to see my Optician, who's office is just around the corner.

There are two ways to enter this store, one is at the front, the other is at the rear where the Target is. There is plenty of parking at the back of the store. They also have cashiers at both entrances. This makes the wait to check out much faster. Granted, there are times when I'd walk out empty handed, because they didn't have what I'm looking for. New inventory is added to the the store multiple times a week. This is a great store for your home needs. Currently there's plenty of Halloween and Christmas decor.

In the past I've purchased some nice purses, sunglasses and shoes. Occasionally they'll have an additional 20% off of their red tag items, for me that's the best time to get a great deal on something I've been eyeing. Otherwise, I think most items are overpriced here, designer or not. I like going into this store anyway, it has a nice layout, friendly staff, and easy returns if necessary. It's worth going in, you never know what you may find.
