I typically walk earlier in the day at Colonial Park Mall; in the early afternoon, it's nice to see…read morecustomers patronize the stores that remain there. I saw customers getting back massages at the Chinese Chair Massages, customers ordering food from the only restaurant in the food court, and people still shopping at Kay Jewelers. Still being patronized: There is the Colonial dollar store, two nail salons, Muslim men's and women's clothing stores, T-Mobile, a mall service/management office, and the plants are being maintained in the mall.

A tomb for local nostalgia, plagued by ghosts of its dead social relevance, the Colonial Park Mall…read moreis a hollow shell. It is an empty, echoing chamber of dusty vaults that once held great names and popular brands that drew hundreds of shoppers per day. This once proud social hub would be horrifyingly quiet if not for the pop music piped into the empty spaces, the upbeat sounds distorting as they echo off the tile and concrete surfaces, blending the sing-song melody of a angelic spirit into a lost soul fighting its final descent into madness. Yes, the Colonial Park Mall is dead, but remains haunted, one might say possessed by a small community of vendors peddling curious wares and sinister services. And also cell phone stores. You would be forgiven to think the random, lone stranger walking by is the spirit of a former shopper who once used the mall for their daily walk and expired near the old Radio Shack and now doomed to tour its remains for all eternity. The mall is policed by cemetery watchmen, glassy-eyed custodians ready to expel loiterers and those without a shopping agenda. They wander through the ruins left behind by pretzel makers and shoe stores and clothiers and other shoe stores and Hickory Farms and even more shoe stores. And they converge every hour at an empty center court where children once gathered as a wise and cheerful Santa Claus would grant audiences and wishes from 10 to 11 and again from 1 to 3 on Saturdays during the holidays. Gone are the mallrats, their socializing now digital. Gone are the great savings events and sports memorabilia shows and special musical guests. Gone are the anchor stores like Sears and Bon Ton. Only Boscov's survives to give this empty space meaning. The mall itself is a parasite grafted to its flank. Come and peer into the past as thoughts of the post-apoclaypse rise from the vibe. To stand inside this dying space is to know the meaning of loneliness. To step beyond the threshold of the jubilant Shoe Carnival is to be stripped of all joy and hope.

Today I used my gift cards to shop for some gardening and food items, and funding is an issue because of the gift cards. Ocean State Job Lot offers a great selection of seasonal, gardening, health and beauty aids, and food items, to name a few. It's best to shop the online advertisement to see if there are any bargains. Staff are consistently friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking.

This review is for Asia Supermarket inside Asia Mall. Not everything is super well stocked but they…read moredo carry staples you'd expect like Yakult (the little probiotic yogurt drinks every Asian kid had growing up) and a small produce section with shallots, kumquat or Korean pears. You can find ingredients like pickled radish and dried seaweed for gimbap, or rice noodles for pho and pad Thai.

If you are in the mood for snacks snd candy, they also have a good array. My main stop is the market, but there are also a few really good places to eat in the mall. So, I grab lunch then do my shopping. They present their fish in a true market style - on ice and in tanks. Don't let it throw you for a loop. Feel free to ask questions, they are very helpful.
