The one drawback…read moreis there can be endless traffic here sometimes, and sometimes that can be challenging to navigate.

The Boulevard seems to be my go-to place. It's a shopping center. Very much like The Fountains At Farrah in my beloved El Paso. The Boulevard boasts eating establishments ranging everywhere from Chipotle and Panera Bread, to Carrabas Italian restaurant. It also houses some decent stores. Best Buy, Target, PetsMart, Yankee Candle, Home Depot, Golf Galaxy, Hallmark, Nordstrom Rack, GNC, Ulta Beauty Supply and shoe stores and clothing stores and Christmas stores and on and on.. y'all get the point. I started coming here because of PetsMart. Then because of PetsMart and Target. Then PetsMart and Target and Supercuts. Then Petsmart and Target and Supercuts and GNC... and you know, then chipotle and Panera ... then Best Buy... then the fact that it's one stop light down the road from the Delta Sonic car wash that I have unlimited membership at... which is right across the street from the Boulevard Mall which has the Bath and Bodyworks I get my wallflower plug ins at... bottom line, this entire area is kinda a one stop shop place for your needs. Oh and there's a Dicks one block away too... and that's where they need to stay, cuz they're Dicks ...

The Niagara Emporium was an interesting store. The Christmas store wAs all lit up, as a Christmas store should be. Duff's was open and so was a new brewery.

With all the shopping that goes on these days via the Internet, shopping malls are a dying breed…read more When you can shop on Amazon, for example, the convenience, selection and great prices, retailers just cannot compete. More so in the age of Corona. Well today was a very pleasant experience at the Eastern Hills Mall. I started by taking my unneeded electronics there at 11 AM. This mall was hosting the free electronics waste recycling drop off event in their parking lot. It was so well organized. A company by the name of sunnking was there to take old electronics off your hands. A great service to the community. After that event, I browsed through the Raymour and Flanigan furniture store. This is where the old AM&As, and BonTon used to be, if you recall. Buffalo old timers like me will remember! Then I walked past the Duff's chicken wing restaurant ( yum yum) to browse and check out some very exciting new businesses at the end of the mall where the old Sears used to be. The BFLO store, the Home Today store, the BFLO Events Center (not open yet), and the Chrusicki Bakery /Pierogi store are just refreshing and exciting additions to the Eastern Hills Mall. I think this mall really has potential. I hope once the fear of corona has passed, the mall will pick up more business and folks will truly appreciate what it means to shop in person again. It was really nice to be able to walk into a store, browse through merchandise, speak with the salesperson. That's the way humans interact. The social aspect is what made the experience exceptional today at this mall. The only department store left unfortunately is JCPenney. Otherwise there are many interesting stores when would not expect to see in the mall setting. Pet stores, dog training businesses, a realtor office, even a DMV (currently closed due to Covid), Antique collectible stores, a medical fitness center, blood donor organization, to name a few. Came home with a few treats from the Chrusicki Bakery. Due to being in the Orange Zone for COVID, patrons are not allowed to dine at the tables inside the bakery. Decorated so beautifully for the holidays it was so inviting. The entrance with the fireplace and Christmas theme is worth checking out.

Next to the newly enlarged Fashion Outlet Mall in Niagara Falls is this mall. It's more of a Plaza…read moreto me, all stores have outside entrances with parking in the middle. There's lots here - Walmart, SAMs, Bed Bath Beyond, and my fav, Qdoba. They have lots more too. It also keeps getting new stores. This place is great for things that are not in the outlet mall, but are still low cost things, no high end stores in this plaza. Tons of parking all around.

Sunglass hut was terrible. I tried asking a question about sunglasses when I realized both employees were stone faced watching me.

Decent members of society that want to enjoy a day shopping do not need to be harassed in this manner. I guess it's true that the crime rate at this outlet mall has risen drastically. Be careful stay vigilant folks!

I need to go back again because we just ran out of time and couldn't see everything. Worth the drive from the 6ix

Burlington Coat Factory, which is the flagship and what the Plaza is named after. Then there is a Jo-Ann Fabric, where I've been on occasion, also very large. There's a Dollar Tree on the side near Trader Joes (across the street). There is a Corner Bakery Café right on the NFB side as well. Just down from Orangetheory is a weight watchers location, seems to get very busy on occasion. A newer place is Amherst Buffet, not sure what it replaced. Moes is on the other side of the Corner Bakery Café. Outback steakhouse is always busy here. Lots of easy parking here makes this Plaza easy.

It's a massive Plaza in the rich suburbs of Buffalo right alongside the nightmarish stretch of Transit Road which is always backed up for many hours a day. If you come here later at night it's perfectly fine. But between the McDonald's and the Tim Hortons across the street from each other - and the lights that are poorly programmed - traffic emerging from Sheridan Drive and Maple Road - it just becomes awful. And of course we're looking at Walmart - one of the biggest and best ones in the area - if a Walmart can be the "best" - so just forget about it. Not to mention I've been pulled over while driving in this parking lot which is ironic because I think 95% of people drive much more Dangerously in parking lots than I do and I never see them getting pulled over. I didn't get a ticket but I just wanted to say seriously?

You can enter from Main Street - left or right turn from Transit, or if you're headed northbound on Transit you can enter right from Transit. Tons of parking here but people tend to ignore the lines and drive willy nilly. Be careful when walking into TJMaxx because people speed through there are don't care who is crossing. I'm a fan.

I went on a weekday around lunch time and it was basically dead in the mall and definitely in the food court. I did see lots of empty storefronts as well, which seems to be a sign of the time for malls these days. The mall was very clean, very modern/up-to-date with the décor and a offered a comfortable, safe shopping experience. If you're in the area and need a mall to shop at, this would be the place and they would probably have what you're seeking.

The only section full was the food court. Service was fast due to not so many people. There wasn't too many things I needed so it was a pretty fast tour of the place. Gap, Banana Republic, Puma, Nike, etc were there. Value was okay for Nike. That's like the only store that was packed with people. With the expansive exchange rate it's hard to buy things on the US side for Canadians.
