| - I like settler's Ridge and yes this is me, the same guy who bashed The Waterfront and South Side Works. So why do I like Settler's Ridge? They brought several stores that are new to the Burgh. Ross just opened, I can walk in there and get four Polo shirts for less than fifty bucks, I also got a Joyce Chen wok for less that fifteen bucks.
Of course, Ross isn't the only reason I like Settler's Ridge. The flagship of the new Market District idea of Giant Eagle is located here, a new movie theatre, several new restaurants including the area's second Red Robin and PF Chang's.
What I don't like about Settler's Ridge, can anyone name a strip mall in Pittsburgh that doesn't have a Michael's? Honestly are there that many people looking for beads, glue guns, or buying wall hangings that need framed?
Settler's Ridge has a great Barnes and Nobel, many new restaurants (although most are chains), There's a Thai restaurant, a Japanese Sushi house, and another cool new store called 5 Below, nothing's over five bucks here. There's also an LA Fitness, and Panara, it's actually one chain I don't mind, keeping in mind Pittsburgh's lack of bagel places. Also, a new Cinemark movie theatre which I found to be extremely expensive. I'll stick to the AMC at the Waterfront, even though this theatre has a popcorn bar to dress up the nine dollar bag of popcorn with a variety of spices and toppings.
Over all, when I think of the new strip malls in the city or outlying areas like The Pointe, Waterfront, South Side Works, and Robinson Town Center, to me Settler's Ridge is the least offensive. With the new exit off 376 it's east to enter and exit Settler's Ridge too.
