I hate shoe shopping and usually do everything in my power to avoid it. However, I was about to go…read moreon a trip and I was already here so I decided to go inside and see if they had anything to my liking. Being inside Ellsworth Place I really can't complain. As it is the only remaining shoe store in here now. You can tell it is a DSW before you even get near it with that totally white interior with the lights blazing out of the store. Inside, it's like every other store in the chain. White walls, white ceiling, white floors, aisle upon aisle of shoes. No rhyme or reason as to how they put their stock out. I went through the men's section and was about to leave when I found what I wanted to look at on a display in the main aisle. No organization to this but to just hope that a box that had your size on it might be something they have on display. After rummaging through this pile of boxes I did find something I wanted. I will give it too them, even though this is a massive store, they were still able to pop up out of nowhere to see if I needed any help finding anything. Like you as an employee has any idea what you have in stock any more than I as a customer knows. I declined and went about my business and made my way to the register. Did I mention I hate shopping for shoes. It might be because I used to work for a shoe store and knew what was about to hit me at the register. The attempt to sale me more items to go with my shoes. No, I don't want your socks, sealants, or any other magical potions. Then they ask if you want to sign up for their rewards program. Ma'am, does it look like I care about shoes that much? But the price was what got me or I wouldn't have been in line to checkout.

It's up stairs on the top floor, to your right when you take the escalator. It is huge! I still haven't got the lay of the land in this new incarnation. I headed back to the clearance racks. I didn't need new shoes. I was looking for something smaller, like socks or a scarf. Something to spend my five dollar birthday credit that DSW gives you every year. Well, hello 80s! Scrunchies are back. I bought a four pack with a green tag which means 50% off. Which also meant... FREE! I'm a happy birthday girl!

DTSS will always have a special place in my heart through thick and thin this will always deep down…read morebe my place and really a key place that has been the host of so many of my life memories from childhood to adulthood. I remember when Veteran's Plaza had the artifical grass back in the day. I have seen businesses like Pier 1 and different restaurants and shops come and go, but I have still found myself coming down here. One thing I have always loved about DTSS is the ethnic/cultural/national diversity in the area. I have observed different African, Asian, Latin, even Pacific Islander people down here. It's not just a White and Black town by any stretch of the imagination and is one of the most diverse places in all America! Now the parking garages might not be the best convenience wise, but at least they do not cost that much money on weekdays and are actually free on weekends. The events are what shape DTSS. I have been to place such as Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee, Bourbon Street in New Orleans Louisiana, Greektown in Detroit, Michigan, and E and 4th Street in Cleveland, but home is always where the heart is. Ellsworth Place always will be a street that is iconic in its own right and a gem in the DMV region. The best time to visit although crowded but for good reason is when free festivals especially music festivals such as the Annual Blues festival and the Annual Jazz festival are in town in DTSS. These are fun, free, and great for singles, families, couples, you name it! Sure, the crime has increased and there has been negative press and attention around that, but the place is still cool just to get out, people watch, maybe hit a restaurant like Copper Canyon and even go to the newer arcade/bar/restaurant the Eleanor that is cool encompassing miniature bowling (duck pin), basketball hoops, pinball machines, among other arcade games. It is just the simple things in life sitting outside on a nice spring, fall, or even summer evening/night and getting some fresh air and relaxing is key. The Veterans plaza portion further down Ellsworth place during the winter time has the popular ice skating rink. The fall time will showcase the legendary and free, yes I said free, annual Silver Spring Jazz festival that attracts thousands of people. The Ellsworth place is set up like a plaza, and an outdoor elevator and stairs can take people upstairs for more restaurants including a Japanese grill, although they have lost their spark and flame in recent years, if you get what I mean. Family lunch, dinner, singles, dates, couples, you name it there are restaurants and things to do here. Shopping is nice along the strip. DSW was outside next to the Wayne garage for centuries but has moved onto one of the upper levels of Ellsworth Place mall (at the intersection of Fenton Street and Ellsworth Place) and has been replaced by a Nike factory store outlet. Not too far from Ellworth place has the legendary AFI Silver Theater and Cultural Center for classic movies with popcorn, beverages even beer, and of course the Fillmore music concert for awesome live music, among small business/boutiques scattered around the area.

I love to browse at a Marshall's or a TJ Maxx but today, after I'd filled a shopping cart with…read moregoodies and finds, I turned my back to dig through men's sweaters. I turned back to find the cart gone. An unsympathetic employee told me a fellow employee had almost certainly taken the cart and returned everything to the shelves. No apology and no sympathy for my trouble. Evidently there's a strict policy to keep the aisles clear of abandoned carts. I had to remember what I had found and where I had found it to refill my cart. When I checked out and was recounting what had happened, the same employee walked up and made faces as if I was a troublemaker. No one likes a messy store but wow- I wasn't the villain here! Guess I won't be back since I am such an inconvenience to the store clerks! PS other clerks were polite but boy, this one wasn't!

As you made your way upward, the stores got messier and less stocked with items. If you weren't able to find what you needed at TJ Maxx downstairs, head up here and maybe you will find what you are missing. They basically carry the same items and why not take the chance to stop in here. Overall, not a bad set up store. They appear to be organized, but not as well as downstairs. Staff were busy in here, running around and manning the registers.
