This is another business that was introduced to me by my Hoover Leadership class. I have passed…read morethis business on many occasions and honestly, it never crossed my mind to stop in. I'm glad I was able to see what they sell because they do have a lot of items and trinkets and just different things that I can see myself buying for others or even enjoying myself. They were nice enough to offer us a discount when we were in their store learning about their business so I definitely think you should stop. With it being the holiday season, they would be great for some last-minute gifts. I'm sure they have something in there that you'd like.

I would say this mall seen better days and I'm surprised it not shut down. Me and my best friend…read morehad time to kill and I wanted to check out a particular store. Luckily, we went doing the work and school hours because it wasn't hardly any people here, but I don't know if the mall be dead like this even on weekends. There's a few stores still open and a small food court and that's it. You'll come across malls rules displayed inside, but I doubt they're enforce.

Western Hills Mall is sort of the centerpiece of the city of Fairfield. Its an old, sort of run…read moredown place where there just isn't a whole lot going on. No real major department stores, none of the latest products, not too much of a food court. They've got a nail salon, a low end jewelry store, and one or two spots where you can get things to eat like chicken wings or hot dogs, maybe a burger or some fries. The food is unequivocally unremarkable, and the ambiance of the place just sort of screams, "you should leave this place". The mall is pretty small, and I think that the only actual national businesses there might be a Dominos Pizza, and a couple of Foot Lockers where you can find alot of shoes, but not really the latest ones. For insance, if you want the newest air max running shoes, you won't find them here. The mall sits next to an abandoned Wal-Mart, and has more parking than it will probably ever need, so that's good. They do have a variety of interesting things for sale at a few kiosks in the middle of the mall. I got myself a grill for just 20 bucks. Great deal. The redeeming factor here is that they've got a dominos pizza with great carryout specials. They've got grills for cheap, and they've got lots of parking. 1 star for each of those things.

I enjoy coming to this plant store to window shop muse on the possibilities and find just what I…read morewant. I like the ferns, Japanese maples and fruit trees. Ferns are great plants they take minimal care and maintenance and have so many variaties. So too with the Japanese maples. I guess I like low maintenance plants. I saw for the first time lemon, lime, and orange trees. Impulse almost got the better of me. But I have made a decision to return and pick up some blueberry bushes.

My husband and I like to go to the gardens to walk and then stop by the store to look around. The other day, we bought a "hard to find" type of fern and it was reasonably priced. This place is a lot more than a plant shop and you could spend hours just looking at all the interesting things they have for sale. Let me say, however, bring your wallet because they can be pricey. Also be careful if you have kids with you because the shop can be crowded and things can easily be broken. The positives are that the shop layout is beautiful and the decorators took a lot of time to make it visibly appealing to the customers. And, the staff here are friendly and very knowledgeable about plants.

But, where they shine, is the really nice selection of wines, ciders and seltzer water with alcohol. The selection of wine is really nice and covers all the different styles (red, white, etc) that you can find. What we really liked was the center shelves that were focused on ciders/hard lemonade. All unique brands that had some different flavor combinations .... such as blackberry, clove and orange zest or the hard lemonade with blueberry and lemon. The owner was really knowledgeable and extremely friendly. She pointed out what her favorites were and made us feel very welcomed in her store. Really glad we stopped to check this place out, we'll go back again for sure!
