I met the friendly owner and some of his staff. I went ahead and got the recommended Philly Cheesesteak. As a Philly native, I definitely prefer a delicious cheesesteak with a fresh roll and good quality beef; you did that, Capriotti's! Online ordering is available, and discounts are available when you sign up to receive Capriotti's text notifications. Great affordable menu, I will be back.

A tomb for local nostalgia, plagued by ghosts of its dead social relevance, the Colonial Park Mall…read moreis a hollow shell. It is an empty, echoing chamber of dusty vaults that once held great names and popular brands that drew hundreds of shoppers per day. This once proud social hub would be horrifyingly quiet if not for the pop music piped into the empty spaces, the upbeat sounds distorting as they echo off the tile and concrete surfaces, blending the sing-song melody of a angelic spirit into a lost soul fighting its final descent into madness. Yes, the Colonial Park Mall is dead, but remains haunted, one might say possessed by a small community of vendors peddling curious wares and sinister services. And also cell phone stores. You would be forgiven to think the random, lone stranger walking by is the spirit of a former shopper who once used the mall for their daily walk and expired near the old Radio Shack and now doomed to tour its remains for all eternity. The mall is policed by cemetery watchmen, glassy-eyed custodians ready to expel loiterers and those without a shopping agenda. They wander through the ruins left behind by pretzel makers and shoe stores and clothiers and other shoe stores and Hickory Farms and even more shoe stores. And they converge every hour at an empty center court where children once gathered as a wise and cheerful Santa Claus would grant audiences and wishes from 10 to 11 and again from 1 to 3 on Saturdays during the holidays. Gone are the mallrats, their socializing now digital. Gone are the great savings events and sports memorabilia shows and special musical guests. Gone are the anchor stores like Sears and Bon Ton. Only Boscov's survives to give this empty space meaning. The mall itself is a parasite grafted to its flank. Come and peer into the past as thoughts of the post-apoclaypse rise from the vibe. To stand inside this dying space is to know the meaning of loneliness. To step beyond the threshold of the jubilant Shoe Carnival is to be stripped of all joy and hope.

This review is for Asia Supermarket inside Asia Mall. Not everything is super well stocked but they…read moredo carry staples you'd expect like Yakult (the little probiotic yogurt drinks every Asian kid had growing up) and a small produce section with shallots, kumquat or Korean pears. You can find ingredients like pickled radish and dried seaweed for gimbap, or rice noodles for pho and pad Thai.

It's my go to for herbs. If you need pork liver, you can find it here. If you want duck eggs, you can find it here. They have quite a few frozen cases with lots of options. If you are in the mood for snacks snd candy, they also have a good array. My main stop is the market, but there are also a few really good places to eat in the mall. So, I grab lunch then do my shopping. They present their fish in a true market style - on ice and in tanks. Don't let it throw you for a loop. Feel free to ask questions, they are very helpful.

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 not really my scene - but it does give Harrisburg a little modernity that it desperately is crying out for. It's big and fancy and gets the job done. Like immigrants in Hamilton.
