In the "olden days" (i.e. the lat 80's - early 90's), I used to spend lots of time shopping on…read moreWisconsin Avenue, Mazza Gallery, Lord & Taylor and other shops that don't exist any more. The stores here aren't as exciting as they used to be. Whole Foods is a reason to come to this area (they also validate for discounted parking). There are also some nice restaurants such as Capital Grille (fully validate), PF Changs (no validation) and Maggianos (across the street). Bloomingdales is near PF Changs. There are other high end retail stores on the block. The parking garage at Wisconsin Place is approximately $3/hour. Look for street parking first (not just because it is cheaper). The garage is usually quite full so you'll need an extra 15 minutes just to circle and circle inside the garage. Take a picture of the level you parked your car to increase the chances of finding it again. Take your parking ticket with you since you can pay at the automated pay stations near the elevators.

This is a fairly large exchange (2 levels) with a small food court on the second level, as well as what is now a ScriptCenter kiosk (used to be an actual pharmacy) next to customer service, and a uniform "shop" in the front on the first floor, AND a Class Six (liquor store) on the first floor as well. I will say that more often than not, there is something going on with the escalators so you may be able to travel one way on the escalator but not the other, requiring you to take the elevator back up/down. I find that this exchange is always pretty well stocked and have never had an issue with them being out of whatever item(s) I came for, and just like any other exchange, items are typically priced a little cheaper than their out in town equivalent, with the addition of tax-free sales. The store is typically pretty well organized and well maintained, always clean, and the staff is relatively friendly/helpful.

Plenty of Michael Stars, 525 America Sweaters, and some other more unusual very unique boutique lines. A small store with extremely well-selected inventory. But the highlight of Wear it Well, which I feel is best for women 30 and up, is the longtime owners and employees. I walked in today, told them I wanted to toss my wardrobe out the window, and they proceeded (not overselling, not oversolicitously) to help me come up with some great ideas, good combinations, and a host of things I wouldn't have picked out b/c I'm stuck in my own dull clothing groove. They really worked with me to ensure that I found some special things, and I don't think I'll toss the clothes I bought out the window with the others b/c they do push my proverbial envelope. That's what I needed. When the economy hits hard...and even when it doesn't...I make an extra effort to shop locally. Wear it Well is the kind of carefully merchandised, very well-run boutique that will earn your loyalty. Before you drive to the mall, walk down the street and visit these great gals. Watch out...they talked me into buying an absurdly expensive belt even though I don't wear belts. You know, I think it will become one of my favorite purchases ever! Plus, it's so pricey, I'm going to wear it to sleep every night no matter what.

Disgusting that your facility didn't have some quality check before sending that. I purchased that for a gift and now have to wait, I didn't expect this to come from a high end store at all. I will never shop online again. I have been waiting for reimbursement since Dec 6??? Do you think this is acceptable for $125 product?? Someone should be fired!!
