While staying at the nearby Westin, which is walking distance, I popped into Yorktown Center for…read morenothing more than wandering around a mall and maybe grabbing a quick bite from a mall food court. I was able to achieve both here! Yorktown Center and mall are the anchor of this area and have all the classic vibes of an interior mall while being surrounded by open-air shopping and eateries. Additionally, this complex also has a movie theater an a gym. So, multi-faceted and mixed used for sure. The mall has a lot of the standard mall store you expect, but they also have a good variety of smaller branded stores and even some local shops. Like any other mall right now, there were serval empty store fronts. While the shops were cool to wander through and by, I came for the food court, which is huge! Featured a solid selection of chain and local spots. The mall was clean and well kept. Worn in some places, but for the most part in good shape. Overall, solid spot to spend some time at, with or without purpose.

Are there any Sketchers that are not outlets? I guess there are, but unlike most outlet stores,…read moreSketchers can be found at strip (non-outlet) malls as well. This location in Chicagoland, had a smaller inventory than I've seen and had the typical 50% off the 2nd pair offer. The store was decently stocked, with a full clearance section racks in the back. Nothing jumped out value wise to justify lugging shoes back home, but certainly was worth the time to check it out.

The selection of sizes is inadequate in the larger sizes. But if I could give zero stars for service I would. The staff has absolutely no interest in helping their customers. The past few times I have been there, the staff stays up at the front talking and laughing and ignore you even when you walk up and ask for it. They don't try to help you find alternatives if they don't have something. They don't try other stores. They roll their eyes. If you complain they say they don't line your attitude. I spent 40 years in sales. The customer may not always be right but the customer is the customer. I will fight the temptation of shopping here for the convenience and go to Downers Grove instead. Service is 1000 times better.

This review is for Santa Arriving By Helicopter in Winston Plaza. A free complimentary Holiday…read moreevent sponsored by Melrose Park inside of Winston Plaza. I missed last years event but was able to attend this year. I arrived a little early so I could get a nice standing spot up front. There were so many people from children to adults waiting on Mr. Claus himself to arrive my Helicopter. There were activities for the kids to enjoy. There was a free hot chocolate stand set up. Face painting, and free activities for kids. If you spent $25 or more purchase from any merchant store at Winston Plaza. You were able to get a free photo with Santa. The kickoff started at noon and Mr. & Mrs. Claus landed safely and in fashion. This was a epic experience for the family.

Winston plaza is located in Melrose Park and has its own street name (1254 Winston Plaza, 60160). http://winston-plaza.com/home Yesterday, there was an outdoor play area and there was a Christmas tree still up. My daughter passed on the play area because there's still snow on it. I felt she was too grown to play on it anyway. Even if she wanted to, it would've entertained her for a few minutes. The play area, in my opinion, is for under 3 years old. Another con. Free concerts and family events are thrown here. According to opentable.com , there's 39 restaurants to dine in around the area. 2 stars because I had to drive around the area to get to certain stores and face weather conditions instead of being indoors for my daughter to roam around and less risk of being sick.

I also buy gifts to put Christmas gifts beside the Christmas tree. At first I didn't know where I should buy these decorations. It's only recommended by my friend. I was thankful that my friend has a good taste, because I absolutely love the product of this shop. They have a lot of Christmas decor. You can choose among those. The Christmas décor has a good quality. There are a lot of cute designs and they are very unique. It will be perfect to design for my house and I bought it. Their service was good, the ambiance was nice; you will really feel the Christmas vibe because of the background music inside. I will definitely come back again and I will also recommend it to my family.

I'm an older woman by myself and those doing so feel free to make me feel afraid and uncomfortable because I'm by myself. I've lived in the area for 40 years, not only have they built the downtown up too much, increased the parking prices (if you can find parking at peak time)- you'd think the socially pious Oak Park would pour some money into stopping pedestrians from being verbally harassed and physically threatened. I have to be there a few times a month for a doctor's appointment, but soon I'll move those appointments elsewhere. I'm an older woman who walks much of the time by myself- downtown Oak Park is quickly becoming a place I want to spend fewer of my retail and entertainment dollars. Here's a hint- having people feel safe isn't racist.
