As with other malls in the metro, this was a mall that was wheezing and hacking it's way to the morgue but suddenly, to the credit of the developers here, it changed. A combination of a well placed Target, a plush movie theater remodel with reclining leather seats, and then the coup de gras, a Trader Joe's has made this place relevant. I will say the east side of the mall parking lot is nightmare fuel. It's too condensed and the whole lot lacks any real flow. Tread cautiously. The west side of the mall is more my jam as you can pop into Gary Gribble's Running Store, Starbucks, and a handful of other good spots with relative ease. It still has that weird, echoey mall vibe when you're in the heart of it, but it's not quite as massive as some other malls that are now memories.

I'm yet to have a bad experience with any store owners. There are some pricey shops but I've also seen inexpensive places to shop as well. It all depends on where you stop.

Other than shopping, this place has lots of entertainment and dining options. They have an AMC right in the middle section. The Dave & Buster is in the left wing. There are multiple restaurants including Yard House, Five Guys, Panera and Chipotle. I loved how the pathways are filled with grass and natural plants. We spent couple hours here on New Year's day. It wasn't busy, so we had great shopping experience. Staff members in all the stores provided a friendly service. We bought a bunch of stuff from different stores. All the stores offered got discount, between 25% - 75%. I wish the signs were little better so we could know what shops are in what direction. We drove to both ends of parking lot to explore both sides since it was really cold to walk outside. But overall it seemed to be the go to shopping spot in and around KC.

It's as if an Amazon delivery truck picked up all the unwanted returns, and didn't stop for anyone to empty the truck and bring the items in, but rather the truck drove into the store and what fell out, fell out.

I can see if this store were off of Southwest Blvd in K.C., KS. or maybe in Olathe because of what has happened to Olathe, but here in Metcalf J.C.? The items are varied. A lot of mismatched items and as someone else had said, like garage sale unwanted items. I guess if you are young, lucky to have moved out on your own, this would be the place to get some light house furnishings and kitchen utensils.

Country Club Plaza just adds so much. Oh, and there's shopping. As someone else put it, this is the Beverly Hills of Missouri. True. Come to think of it, they could rename 47th Rodeo Drive, pronounce it like the livestock event and have an annual cattle drive to celebrate the city's history. Lol. Jk, jk. Kinda.

The parking system up to now has been easy to navigate and validate at any shop. The new "frictionless" parking system is an obnoxious data grab, irritating to set up (I do not want to make an account for every place I park), and impossible for people who choose not to have a smartphone on them at all times (me). :) I'm sure it cost a lot to implement, but every person I've talked to has also found it frustrating. Will be ice skating elsewhere from now on and choosing alternative parking from the crown center garages whenever possible.

Their little pavilion area was PACKED with families, music bumping, and overall a nice time. A lot of the businesses here sort of "Control C + Control V" from other areas of town, mainly the one I live in, Brookside.

They also turn the pavilion area into an ice rink in the winter, and there are some good spots to eat in here as well. Not a place I'd regularly seek out living far away, but nice to have and I like how they set up things for families each weekend in the summer.

In Independence, where I live and used to work, none of those stores are even on the same road. But there are some big issues with the roads. The parking lot makes no sense and it definitely sucks trying to find a spot without getting honked at or losing your temper. The center earns some bonus points by implementing special routes during holidays that prevent bottlenecks. There are also a lot of bumps in the road (literal bumps that force drivers to slow way down) that aren't meant to be there, and driving over them always makes me nervous for my car. But once you manage to park the car and actually start shopping, this is a pretty great shopping center.
