I like Patton Creek Shopping Center!…read more They have gone through some changes, especially during COVID, but there is still quite a bit to do here. They have a nice selection of restaurants that range from Steak house to Cajun to Hibachi - and they also have some faster options like Firehouse and a brick fire pizza place. Sports clips - my primary place I go for hair cuts. An Alabama/Auburn fan store, Gamestop, Dicks Sporting Goods, World Market, Ross, Bookstore - shoe store - just a little bit of everything (sorry if I left something off). This place makes it simple. You need a haircut and want to get lunch - it can all be done here in a pretty reasonable amount of time. Highly recommend if you find yourself in the Hoover area.

If you need to get your phone repaired, there is a fix it store here. Looking for 2nd hand children's clothes as well as accessories they've got you covered. A couple places to eat (really good Mexican food -- see Taqueria Mexico review). You can get clothes altered here. Just a good little variety of stuff to be found here. Nice, well kept little shopping center. Minimal parking, so it can be a little harder to find a spot if you come at lunch or dinner time. That being said check them out if you're in the area.

Pretty much, everything from shopping, entertainment and dining out is all in the same area. The…read moretraffic over here can get hectic and sometimes hard to maneuver during the rush hour, especially on a Friday and Saturday night. They're in a process of developing a new department store which would add even more to an already hectic area. So basically, they have everything you'll want in a shopping area so you don't have to travel to another city unless you just want to venture out.

So this is the average run of the mill strip mall with a variety of shopping and dining options to keep you busy for quite some time. I had been craving a sandwich so I hit up NY Butcher Block and grabbed some lunch. I noticed then that there are about 3 other restaurants that make up this shopping center area, to go along with a cookie place (so good) a place that sells learning toys, a DQ, a Jewelry store, a bank .... and so, so much more. Several people were out enjoying the day before it got to hot and doing some shopping and grabbing some food. Plenty of tables outside to sit at if you grab a bite to eat. Plenty of parking is available on-site as well. If you get wrapped up with the Summit and want to explore a little more, swing on in here and check this place out.

Ah the Summit! Literally on top of a hill, this place has everything you could want/need. With the…read moreaddition of Trader Joes, there are grocery items, specialty items, several restaurants ranging in price, as well as a bookstore and movie theater. I will say that I try to avoid this place from Thanksgiving - Christmas, due to the sheer volume of people who are here shopping/eating. Parking can be a hassle in some areas, but don't give up! Keep circling and you're bound to find someone leaving.

It has great restaurants, shops, and a movie theater that make the hassle worth it. But man do you dread going there and having to fight through all the traffic for a parking spot. On the plus side, you do feel safe here - well lit, patrolled by security. Tip - Depending on what store you need to get to, it may be faster to go to the back entrance of the shopping center and deal with less traffic.

The eclectic antique collection and selection is mind blowing, because there isn't a vacant spot anywhere in the house. There were all sorts of vintage glassware, crystal, dishes, shaving mugs, books, hand tools, hats, jewelry, window frames, lamps, paintings and on and on. It will take me more than one trip to see and process everything in the house. And lucky me because today - everything in the house was 25% off - everything. The Gentleman Owner is a most interesting person to meet as he shared the history of the house when I asked him when the house was built. I did make a small purchase today, but that's only because I'm still trying to process everything that I saw and what I want to purchase on my next visit. I will always value my trip to On A Shoestring Trading simply because I had the opportunity to meet the Owner. Such an experience! And there's enough free parking in front of the store, but you could park and walk from the nearby restaurants. I hope you will visit this place someday soon!

On-a-Shoestring... not sure where the name comes from... but cool shop…read more Really like this place as I tend to dig looking around old, antique-y places and such. Some might call that "antiquing" I just call it liking to look around old, antique-y places and such. This place is no different. There's literally stuff packed in every corner of the main level, the upstairs, the somewhat basement level as well as outside in the yard. There are plenty of windows, doors, shutters and other woodworks for re-purposing if you're into that. Most are fairly priced by comparison to other places. Overall however, the store can be a bit expensive in it's pricing. Also they only take cash or checks as forms of payment so if you're headed over here, be sure to take one or the other. Overall, great shop!

I actually don't think there is a single empty space here, which speaks volumes for this type of place - not uncommon to have a few empty spots here and there. I would recommend this place - if nothing else there are a few good food options to be had here. I'll for sure be returning!
