Being a Hoosier by birth and a Louisvillian by choice this mall holds a special place in my heart of hearts. I can't even begin to describe the number of times I have been here and how much it has changed since I was a mall-rat-teenager. It's way smaller than the St. Matthews or Oxford, however it's got enough in there to get your shopping done and to avoid the large crowds the other two malls can bring in.
It has essentially four wings to it, three of which have a major chain department store at the end of their respective hallway. If you walk in the front entrance directly on your left is Books-A-Million. It's a decent sized book store which is rare now with the invention of e-books. It has a little coffee shop inside if you need to get your fix while you're there as well. On the other side there is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Clarksville, Chinese Gourmet Express, hidden away and they will give you samples of the proteins before you order so I say, check it out. Going to the end of this hallway you have several stores on the way (Claire's, Lids, Finish Line, Lens Crafter's, etc.). When you arrive at the center you have the small food court. There is Auntie Anne's, Dairy Queen/Orange Julius and The Cookie Store, all of which have what you would expect them to have to munch on while you do your shopping.
To the right you have plenty more shops to stop in at like Hot Topic, Razz Matazz, Rue 21, Shoe Sensation, Game Stop and (SOON, I hope) H&M. (If you couldn't tell I spend most of my time down here.) At the end of the hallway there is a Sears and they have an Auto Service Center outside as well.
Coming back out to the food court and you take (another) right, there is Hallmark, Subway, a little toy store and (every kiss begins with) Kay's.
At the end you have Dillard's, and it very well may be the largest single store in the whole place. There's so much in there to look at and it's pretty easy to lose time while you're looking at fragrances, clothes and/or other nick nacks that they have.
Once more back to the food court and take (just one more, I swear) right, and you find plenty more shops to try out. Journey's being a really cool alternative shoe store that it is, Spencer's Gifts to get that special something for that special someone, Buckle, American Eagle, Bath and Body Works (yummy smells!) and there you have it .... JC Penny with Sephora inside.
Their clothes selection for men isn't that great but sometimes you can get a pretty good steal on pants or a cute top. The women's selection is much bigger and if you're a guy and not afraid to branch out you can find something here for you as well.
The real gem here though is Sephora, whether you use makeup or not there is a ton of men's cologne, women's perfume, beauty products, makeup brushes, other nifty beauty tools and tons of makeup. While it is smaller than the one located in Louisville, it's worth a shot and all the employees will help you find what you need.
The parking outside isn't bad, unless you happen to be out there during the holidays, then brace yourself for hell. If none of the food inside the mall tickles your fancy then there are restaurants outside that you can sample also.
It's far from the best mall in Kentuckiana, however it's a nice break from the bigger ones and it's a place that will always hold a little place in my heart just like River Falls did before she became Bass Pro. It's worth a shot if you happen to be on the Indiana side of the river and find yourself needing a gift and a quick bite to eat. read more
