I really need to get a handle on the inconsiderate and inattentive drivers, stops in the curb lane, being a hazard in blind curves, picking up passengers, dropping off passengers with no consideration for rear traffic. Mostly it's the driver's fault not the Mall's fault. I think the lots have some type of traffic control, maybe, request parking control or motor Officer to come through for red zone or handicap spaces being utilized without authority..

It is actually addressed Capital One Arena but access is via outside Gallery Place alley across from Clyde's. McDonald's is just a few steps away on 7th Street for the adventurous. Lucky Strike has been closed for a while. Bar Louie, Thai Chili and Arosto Pizza are also now closed. Broken escalators, neglected sanitation and nighttime urban grittiness continue. I note with sadness the closing of Gallery Place in Baltimore Inner Harbor. Tough economy everywhere.

I'm going to be honest, I had no idea there was a mall in this highway triangle. I thought the…read morespace between where I-270 and I-495 met had nothing in it. I've only seen the area from the highways that are tree lined. I am quite amazed by how out of touch I was for this area. This mall is quite expansive. The one thing I love about the DMV area is that the malls are still thriving. Not to the point where every single store is filled, but no where near dead mall territory. I had some time to kill before I had to head back home and wanting to pick up some items. Parking here had me. I wasn't sure where would be the best place to park. I ended up in the outdoor lots and didn't even want to mess with the parking structure. As a note, early here means you will encounter a slew of parents with their children in tow. Be careful and mindful in the parking lot as they will be everywhere. The mall had a bit of everything in here. The typical anchors and national chains you would expect to find in a mall. Food court area was jammed with eateries and customers. I opted to not eat here. Would definitely come back. Especially on a lazy day. Good people watching, enough stores to grab whatever you might be thinking of getting, and ample parking.

I think what happens is that I mindlessly walk through here as I use it as a passageway. I need to start paying attention to what is in here and keep note of it. Basically this is a mall. Like every mall just about everywhere, they are without some businesses. But, I will say this about the DMV area, even with some shops being empty, the malls still know how to draw people in. Even if it is just for the food options. This place has a ton of food options and some of the places in here are the only place in DC to find them, or at least a place where it is fairly easy to get to in order to visit the business. They got the run of the chains you would see in almost any food court. Charleys, Five Guys, Jamba Juice, Moe's, Panda Express, Starbucks, Subway, etc. But there are a lot of mom and pop stands mixed in. You can definitely find something for your lunch or a quick snack. This is one of the only places I have seen a Church's Chicken in the city. It can be a maze walking through here, especially if you arrive via Metro. But like I said, it is a great passageway to get yourself to areas without having to be outside. With the Spy Museum on the one end it's a great place to spend a day in the city. The Wharf not too far either. There are a few shops throughout as well. Mostly open during daylight hours if you need to grab a thing or two. Everything from a post office to a convenience type store. If you are lucky enough to work nearby, I am sure this is busy around the lunchtime hour.

If you're staying at the Hilton, there's a direct connection to it from the hotel. So this place is helpful because it has several fast food options. Nothing to rave about, but when you're traveling access to quick, fast food is important. Many food places either seemed always closed when I went a few times or open at inconsistent times. The place also never seems busy. Kinda ghost town-ish. Panda Express seemed to be the main attraction here. All together tho, it was clean. I think the space has potential to be a more useful shopping space for people.

It's impressive to see and walk around in and has almost every store and type of food you could want. I enjoyed Nordstrom, Dumplings, Ice Cream, White House Black Market, Macy's, Lululemon, etc. etc. They have all the usual chains (Victoria's Secret....) but some other boutique stores as well. Huge food court on the lowest level and a private entrance into the Ritz Carlton which is attached to the building. Super convenient if you are staying at the hotel, as I did, and I was here every day to people watch, get snacks, or just to walk the levels and get some exercise.

It is easy to get to from DC or Virginia. I enjoyed coming here to get out of the heat and relax for a while.

I will update this review when those are available. There have also been renovations elsewhere in the building so this will cover those. SHOPPING NEXpress - The only NEX on the Yard that non-military can shop in. The Starbucks that had been here is now gone. There is hot coffee, but no frills. The shop has plenty of food options, drinks and some shirts/items for purchase that say Navy. As it is an NEX, it is tax-free! This is the place I probably visit the most in the building. Temptations - The Navy Officer's Wives Club runs this cute little gift shop when you enter the Town Center. Not much is really Navy/Marine Corps focused but usually some cute seasonal crafts, beautiful scarves and bags. You can occasionally get a good sale. SERVICES MWR Services - Military, Military Dependents and DoD Civilians can use the MWR to order tickets for a number of attractions, events and shows. They do a great job at getting you a good price on most everything worth seeing or doing. It is always worth asking about things even if you are unsure you qualify, they will help you out. NEX Barber Shop - I haven't used the barber shop on base, as I am a girl, but they always have a number of uniformed military, non-uniformed military and civilians in the shop. They have some rules about front of the line service for uniformed military during certain hours, but I never really paid close attention. They seem to do a good job. Gym - The gym is great. They regularly have classes that they change monthly (both type and times). There is no fee to use the gym for military and DoD civilians, but there is a charge for Contractors. If you want to take classes (such as cycling, yoga, or zumba), DoD Civilians and Contractors are required to pay, but it is only a few dollars for the class or you can buy a discount card. The facilities are well maintained. The gym was updated in late 2013/2014. New machines and everything is nicer. Clean towels. And the instructors will push you as hard as you are willing to push yourself.
