Whenever I need to buy some shoes, I usually come to Hillsdale. I used to go to Foot Locker until I discovered Winners downstairs. Foot Locker doesn't really have much variety anymore, and Winners has Nike Air Force Ones which are starting to be hard to get. Anyways, Winners has some really nice shoes, sweaters, and other athletic/urban-ish clothing. I don't really like their salespeople, though, (or the ones who answer the phone at least). I called once to ask if they had any Air Forces left (I couldn't come to their store until the weekend), and the guy kept annoyingly trying to convince me to come as soon as possible because they run out fast (but he wouldn't let me put a hold on them). However, I called three days later, and there were still many shoes left. Plus, they don't want to bother looking up the sizes and prices for you. When you ask, they get an attitude. But, hey, if you don't care about customer service, come here.

Walgreens in San Mateo is right on El Camino just a few blocks from Hillsdale Mall making it a very convinient location. I have always been impressed by their photo center. they often have specials on enlargements that I often use and it comes to about $2 a piece. the picture quality is very good. The photo center is very fast and efficient and i have received prints back in as little as 15 mins. Rest of the store is similar to any other walgreens.

This record store is a nice alternative to shopping online and the big box retailers. You can find used and new, old and current albums and CDs. The staff is helpful and the selection is good. It is nice to see that the local stores haven't been swallowed up and you can actually afford to buy something and see it in person without having to spend the full price big box prices.

Vanessa's Needlepoint and Knitting moved to B Street from a more obvious location in downtown San Mateo relatively recently, so I was interested in checking out their location. As a knitter and not a needlepointer (?), I find their store not interesting. They appear to have a small amount of yarn, shoved together by color (the worst yarn organization scheme, I think) and I have yet to buy anything there because there is just nothing interesting. It feels like "Knitting" is just an afterthought when it became more popular. Also, their hours are pretty bad. Every time I have stopped by they are closed! I am often about a block away visiting other businesses and have just given up even trying to visit this store.

This place has everything. And it has more of an "everyone' feel than Sephora, more down to earth. They have pretty much every cosmetic you can think of, and their own incentives to buy stuff (freebies). Good for all girls (and boys) who like makeup!

I specially like their section on $1 tools. Incredible! A friend of mine actually got a flat the other day and I used my $1 wrench to work on his tire. Cool!
REALLY GOOD finds!

Most people shop at the big chain supermarkets, but Trag's is a San Mateo institution. It is smaller and does charge slightly more, but the service makes it worth while. I see that a lot of elderly people shop there, because the bagging clerks will actually help you out to the car and unload groceries.
