When you come from a small town where the mall options are literally sparse, Briarwood Mall feels…read morelike Mall of America lol. Visited here with my hubby while in town for the Michigan rivalry game with Ohio. The mall almost reminded me of the Orlando mall attached to the airport. List of shops full of life here, lots of places to buy merch for MU (although expensiveeee) We even bumped into The Grinch who deserved an Oscar award for his performance. He even got on FaceTime with my sister Overall the mall has a lot of the standard staples and a rush of people shopping that keeps it alive.

This is one of the smallest malls we have visited. It's in desperate need of a makeover…read more It has a few decent stores, however it only took us thirty minutes to walk around the entire building. They need more shops.

We finally checked out the Kerrytown Market & Shops. The food market inside is perfect for…read moredelicious, upscale eats. We loved walking around all the shops and seeing what they had to offer. Perfect for a rainy day, everything is located inside! Be sure to check out this cute little spot.

What a fun experience!!…read more We went to the farmer's market and walked inside the shops and loved seeing everything! Parking can be found behind the farmer's market. There is a lot where you can pay by spaces (about $2 per an hour, very affordable). There are bathrooms inside on the top floor and tables and chairs scattered throughout where you can eat lunch that can be purchased downstairs or at the farmer's market. We bought Pad Thai for $7 from Baan Phad Thai in the farmer's market and it was delicious!! We also found two amazing houseplants, Roos Rois Coffee, and fresh Apple Cider! Will definitely come back because this farmer's market and shops are fun to walk through and have unique items!

Nickels Arcade is always a must stop for me when I'm in Ann Arbor…read more Located in a small alley near State Street and The Diag, Nickels Arcade offers a cobblestone pathway and numerous local shops that are so incredibly unique. Most shops are closed by 5pm or 7pm so I definitely recommend stopping by early in the day if you can. However, Nickels Arcade is still perfect to stroll by in the evening as well. I wanted to visit Bon Bon, a local chocolate shoppe, but unfortunately they were closed by the time I made it during my most recent visit. I loved that they offered a menu outside so I could still look at what they offered. Another shop I'd like to stop at during my next visit is Comet Coffee. I am always interested in finding new coffee spots and the window art on Comet's window was so inviting! Other shops in the alley include a barbershop, tobacco shop, and various antique shops. Spend an hour strolling through the shops. You won't regret it!

Really adorable shops. Went to check it out on my trip and found cute handcrafted thingsread more

Elite shoe buying experience! I felt like I needed to have a glass of champagne when I was here! As…read moresoon as I walked in, I was greeted with a laid back but attentive salesmen who genuinely cared why I was there. There was nothing eager or badgering about this experience; clearly different from any other shoe salesmen looking for a commission and to hit the sales goal. I never touched the shoe! He removed my current sandal, measured my feet, retrieved the new shoes, PUT THEM ON ME, and then once I chose the right pair he put the old shoes in the box and asked if I wanted to wear the new shoes out of the store. I felt like I was on cloud 9 and so did my feet. I love this place!!

The post office: Sorry, but I've had mediocre experiences with the service…read more For one, they lost TWO packages that I mailed from there via media mail. TWO PACKAGES. The first one disappeared, and then the envelope came back torn, dirty and EMPTY (minus the book that I had mailed) about a month later. The second one is still missing (along with the pricey book inside). When I called to ask about both books, they were unhelpful and apathetic and basically said there was nothing they could do about it. I've had to refund the money from both of the textbooks I sold, which was pretty upsetting. So, if you ever mail ANYTHING from here, make sure you get delivery confirmation and/or insurance. Secondly, the lines are super-long most of the time, and you will need to find your wrapping/packaging materials and do all the packaging yourself before you get up to the counter. Also, if you don't buy priority packaging, they don't have any tape that you can use, and the guy at the counter gave me a little speech about it when I tried to use some of the "Priority" tape.. So, I would advise doing all packaging before you come here - and bring your own tape. To be fair, it's a busy place, and the two women who work there generally tried to be helpful to me. Still, if I wasn't a captive audience, I would try to go somewhere else where they didn't lose my packages.

The Ann Arbor News Online reports that this small campus-area mall will be undergoing rennovations…read moreand upgrading. It's about time! Except the Post Office space at the back, the whole building has been deteriorating for years. Sometimes they don't even bother to turn the lights on. The only reason I'm in there is to mail something or buy stamps. The News article reports that "the building owners will invest at least $250,000 to upgrade the building" -- I wonder if this will be enough to make it decent. It's always appeared to me that they could take some advantage of the open space outside the back adjacent to the parking structure. Doesn't sound as if they've thought of this.

Wow! This store is amazing and is like a Marshalls on steroids!!…read more They have a huuuge selection of clothes, shoes, home goods, etc for great prices!!!
