You have to be in the right mood and mindset to go to Marshall's. Like Jason L. said, you have to dig to find what you want. I was not in the right mood when I headed there this afternoon.
My friend had raved about the shoe selection there, so I decided to go take a look. I've been searching for some boots or wintery shoes. The shoe selection was all right, though not amazing. It had good variety and pretty good prices. Then I started to look through the clothes, but I just couldn't handle the crowds of people and all the digging it would take to eventually find something.
Given how tight everyone's budget is, Marshall's is probably a good, cheap place to look for Christmas presents this year.
Ugh. The parking garage there is designed terribly. And that's not a good combination with Charlotte's horrid, oblivious drivers. There are so many near-accidents and it's only time before something horrible happens there.
