Pine Creek Shopping Center is a strip mall. The largest stores are Target department store and…read moreGiant Eagle grocery store. Other current businesses include a few restaurants, two banks, a GNC supplements store, and a Hallmark greeting card store. Inside the Target is a CVS pharmacy. The parking lot is large enough so that I can find a parking spot that is close to the entrances of the stores. The mall is located along a busy road, but the area seems to have a low crime rate and is clean. McKnight Road has several other shopping centers. This strip mall is not the best mall, because it has few stores and does not sell many clothes, but it is good for people who live in the area or who happen to be traveling close by.

Miracle Mile is a strip mall that first opened in 1954 (!) and is conveniently located near William…read morePenn Highway, Route 48, and the PA Turnpike. Today it has dozens of stores and restaurants. Stores sell clothing (e.g., Carter's, Lane Bryant, Marshall's, Old Navy, Rally House, and Scrubs & Beyond), beauty products (e.g., Bath and Body Works and Ulta Beauty), personal services (e.g., Eyeglass World, Great Clips, LA Fitness, and Massage Envy), home furnishings (e.g., Laz Boy), shoes (e.g., Boot Barn and DSW), pet supplies (e.g., Petland), etcetera. Restaurants include Chick-fil-A, Crumbl Cookies, Fortune Star Buffet, Hello Bistro, MadMex, Panera Bread, etcetera. In addition, this mall also includes a few banks: Bank of America, Dollar Bank, and PNC. I occasionally shop here. I am most interested in women's clothing, pet supplies, and restaurants. For me, the parking lot has had a sufficient number of spaces, and the area feels fairly safe.

I will say, once they blocked off and planned the Chick-Fil-A drive through, traffic flow has gotten a lot better. But people still need to pay better attention when they are driving through. This plaza has a little of everything. Pizza, Panera, Chinese, Salads and cookies. Two optical places, clothing (Old Navy, Lane Bryant, Marshalls, Carters), a furniture store, pet store and more. There are often pot holes, but they do seem to take are of them fairly quickly. And there are several entrances and exits, one with a traffic signal that makes things easier. Much like a lot other area plazas, it seems to have been designed with a lot less traffic and cars than are typically there. Other than the craziness of parking, it is a great spot where you can find basically everything but a grocery store.

3.5 stars. Shaler Plaza is a shopping center that was founded several decades ago. I agree with the…read moreother reviewer that Shaler Plaza is worth a visit only if you happen to be in the area. Current tenants include Ollie's Bargain Outlet, Aldi Foods, Planet Fitness, Rite Aid, PNC Bank, Taco Bell, Monte Cello's restaurant, Fine Wine and Good Spirits, Nails One, California Taco Shop, Great Clips, Domino's Pizza, Kumon Math and Reading Center, The Blessing Board (a nonprofit that distributes donated furniture), Imaginarium escape room, and some healthcare offices. A couple of storefronts appear to be vacant. I visited Shaler Plaza in the hopes of eating at Monte Cello's restaurant, but the restaurant had apparently changed their hours and thus were not open. So that I did not drive to this shopping center for nothing, I shopped inside the Ollie's store and found a couple of items to buy. Shaler Plaza has a free parking lot that has enough spaces, so I easily found a convenient spot.

Village Square Mall is a somewhat small strip mall in Bethel Park…read more Currently, its anchor tenants include Kohl's, Home Depot, Michael's, Office Depot, and Bob's Discount Furniture, and other tenants include Half Price Books, Famous Footwear, Fine Wine & Good Spirits, Olive Garden, etcetera. This strip mall is along a high-traffic road in a fairly well-to-do area, so it is easy to get to and does not seem to have much crime. I occasionally shop at Village Square Mall. Most recently, I shopped in several of its retail stores. I felt happy with the availability of parking spaces in the free lot and with the selection and prices of merchandise in the stores. My favorite stores here are the Kohl's and the Fine Wine & Good Spirits. I think that this strip mall is for people who either live in the area or who are passing through while visiting other businesses nearby.

Westmoreland Mall is a two-story indoor mall that contains roughly 150 businesses. It has some…read morevacant space, but it is mostly occupied with businesses and is definitely NOT a dying mall. The anchor stores are JCPenney, Macy's, and Dick's Sporting Goods. The many other stores in the mall offer a decent variety of clothing, shoes, accessories, home decor, cosmetics, electronics, toys, and more. Restaurants include a mixture of local and national: Applebee's, Charley's Philly Steaks, Chick-fil-A, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Chuck E. Cheese's, Edo Hibachi Steakhouse, HoneyBaked Ham, Longhorn Steakhouse, Mangia, Panda 8, Panera Bread, Pita Paul's Gyros, Sbarro, Stir Fry 88, etc. The mall also contains Live! Casino and an AMC movie theater. For years, I have shopped occasionally at this mall. The building is maintained, clean, and safe, and it has plenty of parking spaces outside. Not all of my favorite stores are here, but I always find at least some nice things to buy. My favorite stores here include Aerie, American Eagle Outfitters, Hallmark, LOFT, and The Sweet Bone Bakery.

With so many dead and dying malls in the area, it is nice to see that Westmoreland Mall seems to be…read moreon a growth trajectory. Yes, there are some empty storefronts, but there are also exciting and fun new additions coming (like Dicks House of Sports). Aside from the standard retail giants, this location has some fun local options. They have a branch of Greenhouse Winery where you can sample wines and purchase by the bottle or glass and a new spirits store that carries a variety of tequilas and serves several different margaritas. The most unique feature is that there is a casino and events space that is a part of the mall. So there really is a little bit of everything. The mall has a small(ish) food court, but it is nice that there are those options. They seem to be doing a great job with maintenance as the escalators and elevators always seem to be in working order and the space is always bright and clean. They also don't seem to have the loitering problem other malls seem to have. There is plenty of parking all around the space and the parking lot is well maintained. If you want a mall experience that doesn't feel dead and dreadful, this is a great one to visit!

The shopping center is on a busy road and is conveniently near other shopping centers. The parking lot is free, and it is not large but has an adequate number of spaces for vehicles. A couple of businesses here are of interest to me.

It contains…read moremostly residential homes but also parts of Schenley Park, Frick Park, Carnegie Mellon University, many retail stores, and many delicious restaurants. For many years my husband and I have visited Squirrel Hill, mostly to shop and dine. We always park our vehicle in a garage. We recommend putting a bit more money into the parking meter than you expect to need, because we have seen a police officer writing many parking tickets for vehicles in that garage. Most recently, my husband and I did a self-designed food tour in several restaurants on Murray Avenue and Forbes Avenue. We ate at T-Swirl Crepe, Waffallonia, Amazing Dumplings, Commonplace Coffee, and Hidden Harbor. We also shopped in Panda Supermarket, Chocolate Moose, and Ebisu and spent time in the Carnegie Library. Previously we enjoyed eating at Kiin Lao & Thai Eatery, Ramen Bar, Kyo Matcha, Mango Mango, etcetera. We always appreciate how the business district has a diverse population and international cuisine, is very walkable, and feels safe.

It's because my theme is a progressive dinner style around Asian restaurants. I saw a lot of storefronts on Forbes that were covered with coming soon building wraps. They were all Asian restaurants. That's a good sign. For sure, it's a progress with economic prosperity in this neighborhood. I stayed at an Airbnb with walking distance to the center of the attention. My only gripe was that not many restaurants open on Sunday morning. But I enjoyed my morning stroll alone to witness the fall colors. That's a bonus on this trip. I could never see this sight in Houston Texas, where I'm from.
