It is still clean but about half or maybe more of the shops are unoccupied, the food court is pretty sad, and one of the anchor stores is gone. The stores that remain seem to be very slow and overall there are only few customers in the mall. I think about 30 cars were near Macy's where I parked. The Mexican restaurant Abuelo's looks like it is closed down but signs are still there but zero customers so I think it was closed. The only store that looked semi-busy was the Chinese massage place where there were about four people being massaged and one customer waiting. I honestly was just looking around to get some exercise on a cold day but I really couldn't find anything I really wanted to buy even if I was searching for something. There were also lots of kids just using the mall as a playground but they seemed to enjoy the empty mall. The highlights of my visit was the sports memorabilia store and the pet store. They were also the only places that the clerks engaged me to see if I needed any help. I guess we have to just get used to the slow death of shopping malls in the future and realize online shopping is here to stay.

I'm sure I'll be back for more, but for the moment, I enjoyed Total Wine and Michael's. There's also a Ross and Office Depot and Panera and Marshalls and Mattress Firm and a Value City Furniture.

Lots of traffic control but it seemed easy enough to negotiate without being cornered. The condition of the lot is good and there seemed to be plenty of street lighting available.

We came to this outlet mall few hours past noon on a very hot day. Parking lot was all around with…read morelots of spots to handle the crowd. Common space was a mix of open and shaded area, mostly clean and well maintained. There were a good number of shops, but most of them were smaller in size and were carrying lesser number of products. While exploring the outlet, I walked into few stores but didn't find anything worth buying. The sales tax rate was also very high 12%. The food court was little sad. There were few different shops but most were abysmal. The dining hall was also underwhelming with old chair and tables. Overall I wasn't very impressed with the experience, and was one of the least exciting outlet mall I had visited.

Greenbrier Market Center is a large shopping area located on the southwest corner of the…read moreintersection of Greenbrier & Volvo Parkways. There are a number of anchor stores including Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Harris Teeters, Marshall's, Office Max, Old Navy, PetSmart, Target, & Total Wine. Just about any type of business one would need can be found there. You'll find numerous banks, a major drug store, hobby store, beauty supplies, a chiropractor, eye doctor, denture & implant office, gaming store, furniture store, greeting card store, surf shop, clothing stores & many eateries. The center, located in the Greenbrier section of Chesapeake, is not close to me. But I frequent it relatively often because some of my doctors have offices in the nearby Sentara Careplex. After a doctor's appointment I can't resist a visit to Everbowl, my favorite Açaí Bowl shop. There is also the option of picking up a takeout dinner at Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers. Both favorites are located among the businesses located on out parcels of the market center. The shopping area is clean & well laid out with plentiful parking and a modern facade. For those who live in Chesapeake this is a large and convenient place to shop. For those of us who live quite a distance, it's a regular stop if one of my favorites is there. It's a fun and delicious finale to a doctor's appointment.

You can walk to one of the remaining restaurants and enjoy the beauty of the lit, tree'd streets with lights hung over the street. It almost felt like Christmas except with white lights and the humid heat of summer. Lights shine from the urban apartments in the buildings where one can live and walk to just about anything. The Plaza is a wonderful focal point. The vision of a planned Uptown, miles from the lights and glitter of the oceanfront, was a wonderful one. Upscale shopping, restaurants, housing and theaters abound. Grocery shopping is now available in the form of Trader Joe's, which occupies a space in the same area of Regal Cinemas.

Since the MacArthur Center is closing this month, and I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what…read morethis place has meant over the years. It wasn't just a mall, it was a backdrop for so many memories. I still remember when it had Rainforest Café and Johnny Rockets, those were absolute staples of any visit. There was even a Sanrio store at one point, that had planko, which felt like a little slice of joy every time I walked in. It really was the mall of my time growing up. Some of my favorite memories include visiting Santa during the holidays, catching movies with friends and family, and just spending afternoons wandering around when going to the mall was a real treat, not just an errand. Not to mention using the photobooth before "selfies" were a thing. They even had a bounce house and play area which was so much fun as a child. It's definitely bittersweet seeing it close. While it's not quite what it once was, it still holds so many good memories for so many people. A solid four stars for everything it was at its peak and for the nostalgia it leaves behind. An end of an era, but one worth remembering.

Three days before MacArthur Center closes for good, I brought my kids to the mall to spend an…read moreafternoon making a few last memories. They were happily riding the escalator, and I was taking a simple video of them on my phone. To my surprise, a security guard stopped me and told me that videotaping was not permitted. At first I didn't even realize she was speaking to me because she was mumbling from a distance. When I continued recording my children, she approached again and more firmly told me that no videotaping was allowed. What made the experience so frustrating is that the mall is literally days away from closing. The building was largely empty, my children were simply riding the escalator, and I was recording family memories--not conducting a commercial photo shoot or disrupting anyone. Meanwhile, there have been photographers and members of the media documenting the mall's final days. The whole interaction felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Instead of leaving with fond memories of one last visit to MacArthur Center, I left feeling scolded for recording my own children in an almost-empty mall that will no longer exist in a matter of days. Consumer habits may have changed over the years, but experiences like this certainly don't encourage people to return. It was a disappointing way to end what should have been a nostalgic final visit.

There are more shops but those are the ones I frequent the most. Since Nordstrom sadly departed MacArthur a few years ago this is the only Nordstrom you'll find on this side of the water. It's not the same as the three-story beauty in Norfolk but it'll do - even if it's only their discount arm. I love the shoe section there. Best deals in town.
