If you're going to the mall Auntie Anne's should be top on your list. I've never had a better pretzel. Though they offer a lot of variety, the original is still my favorite.
Don't forget to get a card. They will stamp it every time you purchase a pretzel and after 6 you get one free. Occasionally they put coupons in the Sunday paper, as well.
Every time we're at the mall this is the first thing my child asks for.
We love Auntie Anne's!

The Picture People does really great children's portraits. They offer simple backgrounds and focus on your child's personality. The best part is that your pictures are ready in an hour. The hardest part is that they print out all of the pictures, so you know that the ones you don't purchase will end up in the trash. Torture!
At $18 a sheet, the prices are a bit higher than some places, but they offer a great portrait club and lots of coupons. Make sure you sign up on their website to receive coupons.

If you're sick of plucking and don't want to pay for waxing this is the place for you. The women here use threading to remove unwanted facial hair, particularly eyebrows.
It hurts a bit more than tweezing and less than waxing and only takes a few minutes.
The best part is that it only costs $7 for eyebrows! I've paid close to $20 to have mine waxed at a salon, so this is a great deal!
I don't think my eyebrows have ever looked better than when I get them done here.

Castleton Square is a great mall for the whole family. The food court offers a good variety as well as lots of free samples. There is a play area that is great for young children.
There is a good selection of stores, with several large anchor stores.
This is a perfect place to spend a winter day or a hot summer day when you just want to be inside.

If you're looking to purchase electronics Radio Shack is the place to go. The salespeople are incredibly knowledgeable and much more helpful than the people you'll find in the big box stores.
We have purchased all of our cell phones at this Radio Shack as well as a Direct TV system. We have always been really happy with the help and service.

If you like New York Style pizza this is the place for you. It doesn't get any better!
Since they sell pizza by the slice ($2.50) it's an inexpensive place to eat. The slices are huge (think Sbarro). They also offer calzones, stromboli, breadsticks, salads and hoagies. You can also order whole pizzas.

I recently had my oil changed at AVC and was very pleased with the service. The recptionist was so friendly and made us feel right at home while we waited. They had toys and crayons for the kids and plenty of places to sit. Everyone I came into contact with was nice and paid attention to my children. I will definitely return here.

We just got pictures taken here today and I can't say how thrilled I am. Granted, I spent a lot more money than I planned to, but the pictures were so good I didn't care!
The whole experience takes 1-2 hours. We just walked in, though they do take appointments. The photographers hold the cameras rather than having them on stands which allows a lot more freedom. They just keep moving with the kids and take between 80 and 100 pictures. They do lots of poses, backgrounds and allow you to change outfits.
When the session is over you move to a large screen (like a 40 or 50" tv) where you immediately see all the pictures. This is definitely the hard part! They show you the pictures 3 at a time and you just eliminate the ones you don't like. You just keep narrowing it down till you have the package you want.
They offer a special for $9.99 that has a decent number of pictures from one pose and it goes up from there. The package I got was $100 and it came with 6 poses (3 sheets of each pose), 2 10x13 with special effects and a CD of the entire session that I can look at on the computer and bring back in for prints. Individual sheets are $15 a piece.
Our pictures turned out beautiful. Their system allows them to crop, rotate and resize pictures while you're sitting there. If they take a full body shot and you only like the face, they'll crop it to make it just a head shot. It's so great!
As you can tell I'm thrilled. We will be doing all of our pictures here from now on.

Recreation Unlimited has a huge selection of playsets. From $1000 to over $10,000, you're sure to find what you're looking for (unless of course you're looking for something under $1000 :p ). This is also a great place for kids birthday parties. They have a room for cake and ice cream and then the kids can play on all of the equipment. However, the store is still open to the general public during your party. It's much more expensive on the weekends, so consider doing this on a weekday.

I love Weight Watchers! And the Castleton Center is the best place to go for meetings and supplies. They offer a large number of meetings every day of the week. They have Mommy and Me meetings where you can bring your kids with you rather than having to get a babysitter. This is really nice.
The hours are convenient and the people are super nice. I used to go to a meeting at a church and I found that I like the Castleton Center much better.
