I've been coming to The Shops at Stonefield since its inception over ten years ago. It was built as…read morean upscale center which Charlottesville never had. It continues to be maintained nicely and is located nearby the highway. An anchor is Trader Joe's which is unconnected to the strips. Also Regal movie theater. Stonefield is a common place I shop when in town. Other places I have visited are Pottery Barn, Burton's Grill and Meezh. I have overnighted at adjacent Homewood Suites, I will continue to shop Stonefield in the future.

Now this is what I'm talking about. The shops at Stonefield. Absolutely awesome shiny brand-new generic shopping mall. Bastion of American capitalism. Just kidding. I mean it's true but ew. I really don't like these places. This is the wave of the future. Trying to create a shopping village but it's completely fake. Completely plastic. And full of brand names at extremely high prices. Not somewhere I would ever shop and neither should you. You will though. Most Yelpers do. Because Yelpers are mostly rich pieces of oh hi how's your day. Really though if it was a bit more affordable for the masses I'd give it a 3. But ew.

The tuna steak looked amazing. Then there's the Spce Diva with over 150 different spices. And then there's the Feast market with cheeses and wines and beers and higher end deli meats. A number of tables inside and out so that you can enjoy your meal here, too! Just an awesome spot.

Main Street Market is made up of Feast, Spice Diva, Orzo, Albemarle Baking Company, Feast Coffee…read moreTruck, Seafood at West Main, Crate & Marrow, and Monsoon Siam Togogo. Most of these open to a central hall/hallway with lots of seating. Each of these have their own yelp page so there's no point reviewing them here but it's a great collection. The building has a couple large private parking lots. Today it's raining out and in the 30/40s. I had to be out of my house for a few hours with my dog. It turns out while there are a lot of businesses in Charlottesville that have outdoor patios that are dog friendly, very few let you bring them inside. Main Street Market is the one exception I could find. Dogs are allowed in their seating area since all food prep is done in the shops. Our pup has enjoyed all of the attention he's received from passersby and I've enjoyed not having to be outside for four hours. The one downside is that there doesn't seem to be a public WiFi option. Several of the businesses have WiFi but it's all password protected.

As far as malls go, Fashion Square is pretty fair. It seems better already (as far as available…read moreshops) than when I originally moved to Cville three years ago. There are still a few vacant storefronts which always feels a bit sad, but at least one or two of them have signs that something is coming soon. There is a decent selection of restaurants, though I've never eaten at any of them. I do usually prefer an actual food court, to keep the food and eating folks separate from the clothing shops, maybe just because that's what I'm used to, but it feels weird to have all the tables with people eating right outside other kinds of shops. I think Fashion Square just isn't big enough to have a full designated food court area. Otherwise the main mall areas, bathrooms and stores all seem clean and well-kept. I have only visited the mall maybe 3 or 4 times, and usually for one or two specific shops, but it's always a kinda fun blast from the past to wander around a mall for a bit of time.

Most malls are dying. This one doesn't seem to be with the usual anchors and in between stores and…read morevery few cell phone repair shops. I only noticed one or two storefronts "in transition" and that's unusual these days. Charlottesville Fashion Square is the town shopping mall. Shaped like a large plus sign with the anchors at the main four points. JC Penney, Belk (times two) and Sears. The mall is on one level and is surrounded by parking. Most of the entrances will be through one of those anchor stores and there are three others that are not. There is also a spot in the back for local bus service. Other than being very well populated, the mall is in good condition with good lighting, smooth floors and lots of spots in the middle to sit and wait for your wife to buy her stuff.

I came here mainly drawn to their shoe store - I was drawn by the sale sign…read more Upon entering, I realized they're dedicated to comfortable shoes, many made with sustainable or recycled materials. I bought a pair of Simple brand shoes, made form bamboo and silk, among other things. To be honest, many of the styles were a little too granola for me, but not to the point that I couldn't find something comfortable and cute for me to wear. What I liked, I really liked. Even my boyfriend found a pair of casual sneakers (Tevas) that he liked, and I got a pair of white Campers on sale. It's connected in the middle to a clothing store that has a lot of eco-cotton-modal fabric. It can be chic looking if worn right, but it's damn comfortable regardless. If I was preggers, I'd definitely hit this store up, but even in my non-pregnant state I could appreciate many items. Flowy cotton summer dresses that breathe sound really good about now, anyway.

One lady was at the counter doing the books when I walked in, barely lifted her head to speak, and after I said hello she forced out a "hi". Hopefully, it was not a case of prejudging or assumption causing this lack of enthusiasm. Actually, if were just a mere lack of enthusiasm I would be ok with that. Everyone is not particularly excited to go to work EVERY day. However, it seemed that she did not care to help me as well. I am new to the area so, I purchased despite my discomfort in the store. I will find my See Kai Run Shoes on Zappos.com moving forward. They do have VERY comfortable shoes for women as well. But, oh well. They have my favorite brand of children's shoes but, I will never purchase from them again.

I have visited this location once before this trip and I will be back again and update with photos! Cons: Some more typical shoe and clothes sizes were not available.
