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.

After breakfast, my brother and I went to North Star Mall to tool around. I needed to purchase a…read morefew gifts for sorority sisters for sorority meeting. North Star mall was festive with many shoppers bustling about. Store managers were eager to sell their goods. Gift ranged from extremely expensive to very high end. Fortunately, I found some ornaments that you could personalize. Their names on the ornaments made them very special.

The Huebner Oaks Shopping Center is where we stopped for a gift search back on May 30, 2025…read more This center has a Hallmark shop - those are few and far between these days, but they are still really great shops for particular items. My youngest daughter had a friend who was a Swiftie (Taylor Swift fan). Her birthday party was quickly approaching. So glad we stopped here. I wanted to continue shopping, but I also had a long trek ahead of me. Very plain Jane shopping center. Free parking. Brainless drivers in this area, though. Be careful.

Apparently, you don't like my J-oaks. Let's move on. Pretty spectacular high-end outdoor shopping mall in San Antonio where, unlike the Quarry, every business seems to look the same and have the same design and storefront, which can make it really hard to actually find anything - but it's still really cool. I played a pretty famous show here a very long time ago when there used to be a Borders here. Fun times. We came here recently shopping for Barbie and we had a good time. Late night date spot called the Flying Saucer (and there I thought the one in Houston was a family business, ew). There is an ice cream store here and some bubble tea here that recently changed hands but my girlfriend hasn't changed hands in a while and hopefully she won't anytime soon.

Gah! Parking here is a nightmare. I like Dave's review likening it to a "Quaint European town."…read moreNailed it. Yea, they have these narrow roads that sort of meander around, forcing you to park head in on this fake street. The roads crisscross the center, forcing you to take a little hike to get to your destination. The Club Humidor here is excellent, and the Starbucks is ok. There are some cool places to grab a bite around here. It's easy access to/from 281 from here, since all the traffic insanity usually starts South of here.

To often do I see these new cookiecutter shopping centers that all look the same and are very bland. I also appreciate the different stores they have. It's not just another vape shop, liquor store, etc. They have so much that people can go and check out!

I love this shopping center although it's a bit, "bougie" I guess for loss of a better word. But…read morethey have the best vegetarian restaurant in the planet in my opionon, and the food in Whole Foods is really good as well, especially the white pizza with the carmalized onions! Delicious! There is also a Navy Federal Checking which are pretty hard to find, FYI, and there is also a James Avery store, a Victoria's Secret, Ulta, Micheal's craft, and a pretty good shoe store, I think it's carnival shoes but I may be wrong. Than there are a few stores that I could care less about but you may like as they are pretty popular: a Trader Joe's if your into that, a Home Goods, some fancy gift stores, and that really popular cookie shop I can't remember the name but they are always viral with cookies that contain like 3000 calories a piece. There's even a movie theater but I can't speak on that as I've never been. The prices aren't great anywhere in here but the selection and environment is great!

This is a great shopping center! I'm really happy about this center being part of my neighborhood…read more Reata does the leasing on it, and they've done a good job of filling the place up with fun tenants. There's a variety of dining options, from Zoe's to Stoneworks and Sushi Zushi! They have high end shopping and all kinds of great things that you can always use around the home. Parking is easy, and there's plenty of ingress/egress points along Basse and Broadway, and even the back streets. I am happy with the fact that they have some outdoor amenities that aren't required for a shopping center, but are nice additions. They have outdoor benches with beautiful landscaping. There's an outdoor fountain (that I've never seen full of water) with some benches to watch people getting their taxes filed. There's 24 hour security around here, they keep a good eye over what's going on around here, so I feel safe. I wish that they had more bike parking.

Strand by me! Strand in the place where you are!…read more This is a cool shopping center located right off the corner of I-10 and Huebner. It's got a huge monument sign out in the ample parking lot. I've always felt safe here. The parking lot is well lit, and there's a nice sidewalk that takes customers from one establishment to the next. Some of the places even have spots outdoors to enjoy the weather on the wide sidewalks. The center has a Flying Saucer anchoring at one end, and a movie theater next door. There's a wide array of businesses here, usually with few vacancies. There's lots of car dealerships within a stone's throw from this spot. Accessing this spot isn't quite as easy as if it were right on the hard corner of Huebner and I-10, but it's accessible by any road that comes off of that intersection. There's plenty of ways to get in and out of this shopping center. The place is always picked up and litter free which is pretty cool!

If you don't Strand for something, you fall for anything…read more So I decided to make a Strand by reviewing this place for the first time. This is located at Huebner Oaks Shopping Center in San Antonio, around the back in the plaza itself, and this section is known as The Strand and is separate from the traditional Huebner outdoor in-the-round strop mall. This one is like Huebner, which is a very posh and enjoyable shopping center. I like to come here whenever I can because it has good memories and it's extremely well done. Barbie loves it here too and looks great here, but it can be a little bit difficult to walk around this mall with heels. Still, it's much better and more enjoyable than most strip malls, and has beautiful distant old memories for me, too.
