Pros: * Lots of big anchor stores in one place (Target,…read moreKroger, HomeGoods, Ulta, etc). * Centrally located to NW suburbs. * Unlike Retail store industry trends, seems to actually be growing and expanding yearly. * Plenty of free parking. Cons: * You have to drive to get around to all the different sections - not walking friendly at all. * Traffic pattern - one very poorly designed in/out so the traffic is constantly backed up at the light. *Very slim pickings for dining options.

I was always in awe of how beautiful the mall was. While the name has changed as well as many of the stores, it still has a lot of the same charm with the beautiful skylight and fountain. Still mostly empty but with unique offerings that are different from the bigger malls. Especially recommend Blissful Trends and Pizazz for unique gifts!

I have never seen a Dollar General so cluttered and dirty. I cannot even find the tape I came in…read morehere for because of the continuous mess. I will not be returning.

As far as dollar stores go, this one isn't too bad. A little sketchy and people don't know how to…read morepark in the lot, but that's another problem. They had a good selection of brand name make up, but it wasn't any more or less expensive than if I had purchased it anywhere else but maybe that's the point. Convenience vs Cost. They also have a large selection of medicines that are pretty much in the same category as the make up, but they have an interesting array of generics that could be very cost effective if you don't mind buying the store brand. They also had a cheap selection of lip glosses and balms. I found Aquafina lip balm here, which I have never seen, but it came in a 4 pack for like $2, so who cares, bought it. Also--it's a little unnerving that when you look for some personal care items, a little alarm goes off to let the staff know you're looking. I didn't realize theft of deodorant had gone to that level. I would and probably will return in a pinch.

Following a long day of shopping, my appointment with Adda was at 6pm. I knew what style I wanted,…read moreand I wanted a piece with a story. Adda has lots of great choices, and she spoke about how she had mostly newer gowns from other stores these days. She's been running this shop since 2012. After trying on 7 or 8, I kept going back to one. Adda was so patient, giving us time to search and also pulling a couple suggestions out. She has lots of veil choices as well which help brides see the whole look. Checking out, Adda mentioned she loves to tell the story of each gown she sells. Knowing it was a new gown, I didn't expect any special story. But this piece came with a beautiful story, making my purchase all the more remarkable. Thank you so much for helping me find my bridal gown!

Wow is all I can say!!! I went to Polaris Mall in Columbus, OH and was basically assaulted by the…read morerep in the mall kiosk. So, dried out salt was shoved into my palm and water being squirted in my hand. The guy was talking so fast, I couldn't understand what he was saying. He was going on and on about the product which I guarantee will cause me to break out. I couldn't even check out the "business", products, or reviews online. I kept asking "how much" but I couldn't get a straight answer. I kept getting all these different prices and combinations and free products. What I can gather is the oily salt product is normally $79, on sale for $59 (but the company online sells for $54) and after trying to get away, was offered it for $29. Stupid me, I bought it and based on all the complaints and reviews I've read, I'll have to learn to live with the loss. I should have known how bad it was when I was handed a generic plastic bag with my salt purchase. This should be illegal and is probably considered assault based on other posts I've seen. When you see these fools I suggest you scream, "No means no", and call the police. Unfortunately there are many others that have been sucked into their scam. Stay clear!!!

My sister and I recently stopped at the kiosk for directions (initially) we were quickly "taken in"…read moreby the rep there and ended up spending money on the products. Guess what? I'm so glad I did! Not only was the rep adorable, but the mud soap has been AWESOME. The nail kit is fantastic and I bought them for Christmas gifts. We also loved the salt scrub - my hands have never been so soft. I really love these products and am very glad I stopped to ask for directions. If you don't want "assaulted" like Bryan was, head over to their store right by the Victoria's Secret. And next time, dear Bryan, grow a pair and say "No" if you truly don't want the product.

How about 3 stars. I was going to Old Time Pottery, and the Global Mall caught my eye. And I am definitely an adventurer, so I just had to go in. Once I was in, I felt like I was in another country. This place was very similar to all the little markets I used to go to in India. Here's what you can find: * Somali clothes * Kitschy gifts * Imported ceramics * Electronics * Grocery store * Restaurant * And more! You should totally go to the Global Mall. But I would recommend taking a friend for moral support.

One summer I bought a dress scarf made of lightweight wool to wear in the Leadline competition at the Ohio State Fair. I came here this past Friday and found absolutely nothing made of wool. That's what Pendletons is known for. Their full name is Pendelton Woolen Mill. But the socks were cotton/poly blends and the skirts polyester, and even more disappointing, they didn't have any style. This looked like clothes that my grandmother would wear...if my grandmother hated looking good. *Sighs* I'm a big fan of wool and it was sad to see this as just another store with bland products that could have been found at the Talbots down the way.
