While shopping at the West Shore Farmer's Market today, I went upstairs to Susan's Treasures…read morespecifically for a Rewine candle. I purchased a few of the Rewine candles from Susan's Treasures before, so I know the Rewine candles are of great quality and burn evenly down to the bottom of the recycled wine bottles. That in itself is a great value, the wonderful scent that burns to the very end of the wick. I must say the staff at Susan's is consistently friendly and helpful. My only disappointment is that I purchased the last Rewine candle in the store.

Absolutely nothing fun to do at this "mall". They don't even have a decent shopping spot for ladies…read morenor gentleman. It has one good coffee cafe and a Hallmark shop. The food court is ok but that's about it. You need more than a few banks, one Rite Aid and a preschool to attract tourists or locals to this spot. As a tourist, I was fairly disappointed with my 3 years old.

It's a center of commerce and social activity for the community. Generally clean and open during normal business hours, Strawberry Square contains some good restaurants in the food court and elsewhere. A couple banks and many offices make this a convenient location for all downtown workers. Some businesses have closed and others appear to be struggling, much like Harrisburg itself. It's better than it used to be and hopefully continues an upward trend in the coming years.

The West Shore Farmer's Market is actually so cool!!!! Just went for the first time yesterday and…read morewas really impressed. It was larger than the Harrisburg downtown one and reminded me of Reading Terminal in Philly (less crowded but still lots of options). There's also tons of parking all surrounding the building. The upstairs section has small specialty shops; the lower level is full of food vendors -- from produce to fresh pasta to tacos to pizza to pierogies to quiches. They also even had plant stands and floral arrangements. I got 1.5lbs of fresh made spinach fettuccine from Fasta & Ravioli, two very tasty bagels from Bagel Lovers (foccacia flavored and everything egg bagels--both were SO delicious and a great texture; they also had tons of other varieties like pumpernickel, onion, and blueberry, all made fresh daily and for a very reasonable price -- I think I paid something around $3 for my two bagels). I could've spent tons more time there but unfortunately was just stopping by after running an errand in the area. Needless to say, I will be back!!

Stopped by the market after a coworker mentioned they had opened a new fried chicken restaurant…read moreinside. I decided to give it a try, and overall, I was impressed. The fried chicken was the highlight of the meal. It had a golden-brown, crispy coating and was cooked perfectly--juicy, tender, and not dried out at all. The portions were generous, with some of the largest pieces of fried chicken I've seen from a hot food counter. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, making for a great side dish. The cornbread muffin was moist, soft, and paired well with the meal. The only downside was the potato wedges. They were seasoned well, but a few pieces tasted a little overcooked or burnt, which took away from an otherwise solid meal. Overall, this was a very good first experience. Between the large portions, fresh food, and flavorful chicken, it's definitely worth stopping in if you're looking for a quick comfort-food meal. I'd happily go back and try it again.
