We paid $25 a person + a $40 Service Charge to sit in a freezing cold room eating grocery store cookies, drinking coffee and cocoa from a vending machine dispenser, while a nice woman coughed all over everyone (and we're still sick). Our 6 and 8 year old were bored within minutes since we ended up being the only ones there at Noon and other than a woman reading one story from a book there was nothing else to do. The Staff, especially Erik the Elf, were friendly and helpful but the experience was overpriced and the train ride we paid extra for was a joke. There was no Santa (unless you paid $60 a person for breakfast.), and no Mr. Jingeling, but there was Bruce The Spruce but the line was too long. It was really for babies and small children. There were .3 small cars that went in a very small circle a few times...boring! And the Toy Shoppe was a big money grab. It was like being at the Dollar Store (or Five and Up) with cheap toys that cost $5 and up. The entire event was a waste of time and money. I would NOT recommend!

Even the Ritz Carlton is within there. What a joke. I remember they had water fountains and waterfalls, you could go to the movie theater, shop at unique places, grab some food at the food court that had great options, and enjoy the atmosphere. Now it's just a shell of itself. The place is nothing special anymore. It's just a walk through to get to the Gund or the Jake on a cold day. You call this a center, more like a ghost town with a few scattered businesses clinging on that will eventually tank. May as well call it Deformed City Center. May as well just throw in the towel because you're gonna need to clean this place up after it gets demolished one day.

The Creative Hangars (former City Goods) is a collaborative space of local makers in Hingetown…read more(Ohio City). I remember when City Goods was just born, and I first spotted their construction from the Church & State apartment rooftop. I figured that they must be new little homes, but they were actually shops full of local goods. I didn't even know what a hangar was until seeing these futuristic looking U shaped shops. The space recently transitioned from Ohio City ownership to the ownership of the founder (Sam Friedman of Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve). It's such an interesting destination in the city. NEW CREATIVE HANGARS: The City Goods used to have seven hangars encapsulating shops and a bar. As the Creative Hangars, the shops have been condensed to a single hangar with goods from about ten makers inside. The remaining hangars are vacant. While smaller scale, the remaining hangar is full of finds and same creative spirit. If you haven't visited in a while, please know that the same level of artistry lives on. MERCHANDISE: I stopped in many times at the former City Goods. I stopped in at the new Creative Hangars concept at the beginning of October. There is so much treasure hidden inside - shirts with local flair, pottery, wooden art, tees, cards, jewelry, tea, decor, baseball caps, and skincare. The first floor is full of souvenirs and CLE-spirited merch. Clothing goes up to XL. The second floor is devoted to Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve. During my visit I purchased a skin mask and a hair mask for self-care day from Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve. If you haven't used their products or heard their story, you must. It's a high-quality, botanically based local brand. Prices are pretty reasonable across the board considering the uniqueness and talent. I also love that most merch at the hangar features the Hope Memorial Bridge guardians. I love this architecture so much and obsess over everything with the guardians of traffic. SERVICE: The employee working at the store is also a jewelry vendor. She's so lovely and welcoming. I talked to her for a long time about the hangars' transition and the makers inside this space. It was great to get the human factor behind their merchandise. I feel like these stories often get lost at local shops. By the way, I learned that new artists' merchandise is welcome into the space in case anyone who is a creator is reading this review. I'd recommend a visit to anyone looking for self-care products or unique souvenirs. If you're visiting Cleveland, stop in to take away something unique to remember your time here. If you're from the Land, you'll love sporting your one of a kind CLE merch at the next sports event. I will be back very soon to shop for more Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve products.

I like to put a lot of thought into the items I give family and friends around the holidays and this is the perfect place to visit if that's your style, too. Everything here is locally made and thoughtfully curated by the owner. Bonus points for being woman-owned by the way. They carry everything from beautiful jewelry to high quality bath and body products as well as Cleveland sports items, clothing, and art. I was able to grab my dad a Cleveland Browns Christmas ornament. I know he'll love it and likely keep it up all year round as decoration. The prices were also pretty fair given that the items are not mass produced. I highly recommend you pay them a visit. Whether it's for the holidays, a special occasion, or to simply treat yourself. You're bound to find something special.

A smoke shop that also has all kinds of Asian Buddhas, knick knacks, teas, knives...lots of stuff. They were alright... There are a few restaurants. One you can dine in the other looks to be carryout and a few little shops, that weren't open. I strolled into the market because I've been wanting to try passion fruit and star fruit so YAYY me! I stroll through the store and there are a few Black folks, so I'm like okay cool. I pick up my fruit, grab some eggs (because you always need eggs) and head to the counter. When it's my turn, a lady exchanges places with the original cashier and rings me up. No hello, good day, is this all for you. She totals my order, then steps away and the original cashier returns and looks at me. I said oh hello. And he just points towards the pay machine. Well, I completely declined to spend my money and said my neither of you said hello and left. Listen, customer service is real and I refuse to spend my money at any establishment that doesn't respect that. And their freaking smocks say they are here for the customer. I dare say a specific customer. #customerserviceisstillrequired

I stop by at this location frequently usually in search for casual clothing and sometimes shoes. LAYOUT/INVENTORY: The layout is your typical Marshall's experience. The store is much cleaner and updated than other nearby locations. The inventory makes me pretty satisfied every time. There are a few designer brands, and plenty of inventory. I have noticed that lately plus size women's apparel inventory shrunk (especially jeans and dresses). There are no coats in plus sizes. I'm always happy with the wide range of tops (tees and sweaters) located in this store. In fact, during my last visit, I found several cute sweaters for sudden sweater weather. Currently there is plenty of seasonal decor. You can find everything for autumnal holidays - Halloween and Thanksgiving. Lots of ghost decor and even already on sale (as low as $12). I most loved books in the stationary area. Trending authors like Elin Hilderbrand and Alison Espach were options. Bookish girl's dream. SERVICE: Service tends to be transactional but friendly. Even the guards periodically working at this store tend to be pleasant. The only service bottleneck is the checkout. The checkout is always understaffed, long lines are often an issue. I like this store more than the other Marshall's in the area. I feel like I almost always can find things on my shopping list. I look forward to stopping again to shop for fall and winter gear.
