I visited Hillsdale Mall for the first time in decades!…read more I wanted to drop by and survey the parking near Palette Tea Garden. I decided it was best to park on the roof and take the escalator down to ground level.....right to the restaurant! While I was there, I walked around to see what the indoor mall was like. It's a nice shopping mall with a variety of shops, restaurants, and services. The North Mall has a huge "Dining Terrace" which includes an outdoor patio with fire pits. I like the hand washing area. I heard stories that the owners of the mall want to tear down the enclosed mall and build a mixed use open air mall. The plan is yet to be approved. I like Hillsdale Mall the way it is.

No complaints of the Target either. Just a weird setup. Everything is very spread out. No cashiers. That seems to be the norm these days. Now the parking lot is the problem. It's a "human petting zoo" of sewer rats who are coughing up a load while they hang out there. There has to be somewhere else more exciting the children can go so customers can get in & out of their cars without that element!

Overall the shopping experience is great. Parking easy. Stores and parking lot well lit. Lots of food options for between shopping. My favorite place is the Armadillo Willy spot. A particularly comfortable location with both indoor and outdoor seating. The average person might like the two chain restaurants instead. Cost Plus. Walk in because for your love of imported food items and grab a few alcohols just because you can. Found some Dr Oetker food products and imported candy from Japan. Endless novelty items from Bob Ross calendars to Bob Ross canned drinks. Anybody would love to fin Bob Ross in their stocking on Christmas day. Some more stores like Wine and More and Marshalls and Ross are present. There is probably something for everybody here.

If the Stanford shopping centers vision was lifeless store fronts and no one actually shopping then…read morethey achieved it. Owners please take a look around, no one is shopping. An entire year here and I literally see no one buying anything in any of the stores, regardless of the season. It feels very pretentious. Each store, each window has the same exact thing - no color, no life. Each store equally more expensive than the next. I have come to learn that the building owners sought a "vision" and pushed out previous stores here to have what it does now. Each store front pushes mute colors, I walk into a store $600 for the most boring top I have ever seen, and this carries on through each and every store here. Not to mention, a lot of the stores push concerning stereotypes and visions of women's bodies. There's a select few stores I love here, Outerknown (you are awesome) and Aesop, are what keeps me coming back - other than that, it's a sad shopping experience and I actually really enjoy shopping at a lot of malls. Sad, uninspiring. This mall is now pushing sad and concerning shopping and fashion culture. This is unrealistic, false expectation setting. It is deplorable.

At first glance, you might think the Marina Plaza Shopping Center is an Asian-theme shopping plaza…read more But it's not. It's actually a mix of different restaurants, hair salons, banks, a liquor store, and the Marina Food Market. In fact, the shopping center directory includes the Denny's Restaurant and the Hotel in the rear of the property. I visited the shopping center twice recently. Once at 330pm on a Saturday, and the other time was 5pm on a Friday. Both times, I just wanted to visit the Sheng Kee Bakery. I had a better experience on the Friday at 5pm. Parking was alot easier. Okay, I don't like the parking lot. It's the "perpendicular parking" or the "90-degree parking" design. If there's lots of spaces, I like to park "nose out" so it's easier to leave. Or I park on the outer perimeter spaces, so there's nobody behind me. My truck has a rear backup camera, so I have better safety when backing up. Great safety feature to have on your vehicle in tight parking lots like this one. Or, you can just park in the Denny's parking lot, because it was empty on both days I was there. The anchor business is probably the Marina Food Market, which is an asian market. The area around the shopping center is commercial/residential, so there's a need for a food market nearby. (FYI- apartments are commercial property). Marina Plaza actually has a great location, but it seems like it needs better tenants to draw more customers. The plaza looks nice from far away, but up close you can see it's age. I did some research, and based on real estate data.....Marina Plaza was built in 1968. Around dinner time, food trucks park along the curb. Exiting the lot can be hard, be prepared to wait or use the side driveway near the Marina Food Market. Come by and visit, maybe you're find a business you like. Located near East Hillsdale & S Norfolk, across from the Shell Gas Station. The Plaza is next to the Dennys and Chase Bank.
