On a Monday afternoon it was not overly crowded, mostly families with small children, or older teens, or retirees. It was fun to look at the Lego store and Game/Calendar store in particular. Everything already decked out for the winter holidays with "Black Friday" sales already advertised. I appreciated the Santa photo setup which was super festive. The elevator was next level fancy looking too, a hexagonal sleek capsule (I hate elevators as a rule but at least this one was mostly glass). They have an Apple Store, the usual Macy's/Nordstrom's/JC Penney's and then lots of shoe/clothing/jewelry/luxury brand stores. No food court, but a few restaurants and multiple chocolate or pretzel shops, a Gong cha boba tea kiosk, and a candy store. Anyway it was a fun place to walk around and people watch for an hour while staying dry and warm.

The centers proximity to several office buildings makes it a great spot for lunching...most have patio seating in good weather.

There is a hotel and large name stores such as Whole Foods, The Cheesecake Factory, and various others. It's a beautifully maintained area and very pedestrian friendly. People have the option to live, work, and play right in this area. There's a wide selection to choose from, you don't have to leave the area if you don't want to. Parking can be found on street and two garages, all metered but affordable. There are bright murals throughout. A movie theater and a library are within walking distance. There are events such as live music. There are quite an array of things to do and eat and all in walking distance. The area can be busy but for a good reason. I find myself there quite often and enjoy the amenities.

I ventured out with my kids to check it out. They thought I was crazy but went with me to see what I was taking about. They both were amazed how big these cream puffs are and the filling is so fresh. I told them the 1st time ever having them was at the Big E back in the day. With today being the opening day for the Big E it was an added touch to the West Hartford community to have a visit from Chaz. Next best thing to driving up to West Springfield tonight. Chaz was so photogenic and super nice and thank you for making my afternoon. I plan to get more cream puffs on Wednesday when I go which is also Connecticut Day at the Big E.

I mean, it's an area, the streets and lights I guess could count as service, right? I dunno. Well, I guess I'll talk about everything around here. 2.)

Bishop's Corner has limited shopping, but is filled with restaurants. In terms of shopping, there is a Marshall's, Walmart Neighborhood Center, and Maximum Beverage (a liquor store). There's various restaurants, including Noodles and Company, Qdoba (the only one I know of in the area) and Blue Plate Kitchen. There's a lot of other retailers and restaurants in the strip malls on all sides of Bishop's Corner. Overall, it's very well-kept. Bishop's Corner looks very nice and updated. The only down side I can see to this place is that the parking situation is kind of awkward for most part of Bishop's Corner.

They currently have the end of summer, yellow tag clearance, across the whole store. There are so many great bargains everywhere. They have shoes, tops and dresses for $10 - $13. Of course the regular priced items are also bargains in comparison to other retailers. I especially liked their furniture section. Certain sections are very messy, and others are a bit more orderly. Unfortunately the associates working here could use some training on how to be more professional. This is a well stocked Marshalls with a large assortment of items.

(Paul McCartney) Nordstrom Rack sells discounted high-end products in a multitude of categories such as men's, women's and children's clothes, shoes, handbags, jewelry, accessories, home and kitchenware, and health and beauty aids. They claim you can save up to 70 percent off regular prices. The store was well stocked and very neat when we shopped today. I didn't find anything I wanted, but my wife did. We'll be attending a Charity Banquet and Ball in a few weeks, and she was looking for a dress to wear. She found a beauty - a nice red Calvin Klein dress stickered at $134 but tagged at just $49.97. That's 62% off. Customer service was great. When we went to the register to pay, we saw a minor stitching defect at the back of the dress. Our cashier arranged for a runner to head back to the rack with us and we found the exact same dress in perfect condition. No complaints at all.
