These days we go once or month or so to take his mom shopping for things she needs. Her go-to spots are Saks and Dillards. You can tell that back in the heyday of malls North Star would have been deemed awe-inspiring. The mall itself is very clean and spacious with all of the typical shops you expect to find (anchor stores, smaller stores, etc.). Lots of food options including The Cheesecake Factory and others. Easily accessible from the highway. And, who can forget the best part and my favorite part? The legendary and ginormous cowboy boots sculpture(s). In fact, the largest boots in the world.

Plenty of parking spaces within the garages and surface lots, even a valet parking section. Always love driving past the "worlds" largest cowboy boots!

I do not like to collect anything and only purchase items that have a purpose. So this shopping setup goes against everything I usually gravitate toward. However, when on vacation I do like to get a taste of the local fare and perhaps grab a little something to remember my visit. Near where we were staying is the Market Square-an indoor/outdoor market boasting brightly colored, cheaply made and mostly imported items. There are lots of people, upbeat music and an energy that lures you in. Here, you can find a variety of articles of clothing, hats and shot glasses. I was looking for something that I could take to my son-something practical-ish that I wouldn't mind seeing around the house. We visited three separate times (it was a stop on our tour bus), but each time I left empty handed. The hours are a bit limited-they open at ten (or a bit after, really) and close at 4pm. There are restaurants sprinkled throughout, which might draw more people than the actual market. I would have liked to see some more high-quality, artisan made items rather than so many cheap things that were mass produced. Or more "consumable" items such as soaps, candles, candies, etc. But if you're looking for a souvenir without having to spend a lot of money, you just may find something here.

Growing up visiting family in Mexico I can appreciate all the shops at the Market Square. It…read morereminded me so much of my childhood! I remember walking along the Mexican touristy boardwalks and markets enjoying all the gift shops, music and street food. Mexico is a country known for it's rich culture. I remember traveling to the Garibaldi square famous for Mariachi Music and its local native vendors who come and sell handmade items like dolls, sarapes, rugs, pottery, jewelry, Agua Frescas, churros, fruit on a stick, roasted corn, street tacos. Well, the Marketplace is a tiny taste of Mexico, and thankfully, I don't have to drive all the way to the Motherland to find some great souvenirs. You'll find all kinds of curios, pottery, marble chess sets, wooden toys...no shortage of fun gifts. I loved showing my kids all the wonderful artisans since we no longer visit Mexico on a regular basis. We bought some beautiful pottery and my boys got some fun souvenir luchadores and candy to take home. Overall a fun day of touristy shopping! We'll be back!

Sol y Luna is renown for their margaritas, and Revolucion Coffee is a fantastic place to grab a cup o' brew. There's always plenty of parking around here, and there's even a 24 hour guard on duty to keep things safe. There's other public works of art here, like a fountain that never runs, lots of plants, a modern art piece called "Modern Dog" and a few bird baths. In the rear of the center are a few professional offices, mostly doctors offices. In the very, very back is an alleyway that allows for a quick cut through to Sunset from Terra Alta. One of my favorite things about this center, other than the shopping bags, are the cats. They run this place. They're all over the place.

Now we have a bunch of chain stores, like Target and PetCo. There is a great fried chicken place on the east side of the center, Earl Able's.

They've really made this shopping center look a lot better. It's all part of the Austin Highway Renaissance.
