"I used to go shopping here quite often with the parentals, but that was many years ago & now I only travel here for the stuff around it. The mall used to be the nice new place where people in & around the city traveled. But lately the mall has started slipping & just doesn't offer up as much as it used to be.\n\nI do go to some places around the mall though, such as REI & Buca Di Beppo. This area used to be sparse with commerce, but it's built up a lot lately & they have some good options around the mall.\n\nBut if you're heading to Carolina Place for the mall aspect, don't expect anything spectacular. They have your normal stores like any other mall, so nothing special. But it's not a bad trip to check out the stores & restaurants around the mall."^^ . "2008-10-21T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . .
