I came into Shoe Pavillion with high expections. My friends told me of how they had great experiences with this store. However, my experience did not turn out to be as good as theirs. When I first come into the store, you'll notice how extremely clean they are, but at the same time, how quiet they are as well. The store is big, but I didn't see many other customers in the store, nor as employees. The employees seemed to be hiding behind the counter. I liked how the aisles of shoes were set up. They weren't too high so you can't reach the shoes, and the demo shoes were at the height perfect enough so you don't have to reach down to look at them. They sell many variety of shoes, from skate shoes to dress shoes, you name it. However, I didn't really like the look of any of their shoes. They just didn't look good to me. Prices were really good, however. They claim to see shoes half the price of other retailers, but I don't really see the shoes at other retailers. If you found a shoe you want to try on, you can immediately search for it right away, as their stock is right under the demo on the shelves. Parking for the store seems to be an issue, because it is located near Edwards, and most people park around the store so they could see a movie.

If you can't afford to take your family to a theme park, then you probably can afford to take them to this amazing home of fish and other sea wildlife. Regular price cost are about $20 an adult and $12 for children, and if your a Long Beach resident, you get a 1/3 price off discount. Whats also cool is that if you pay a little bit extra, you get to take the "behind the scenes tour." Basically, the whole inside of the building is filled with giant aquariums holding sealife from all around. You can walk up to the glass and see the breathtaking scenes of fish moving by with in schools and you can watch the scary sharks swim around looking for something to munch on. You can also see seahorses, and brightly colored fish bob around in the water. You can also see the amazing sea otters joke around and act foolishly with one another. You can learn everything you want to know by taking a guided tour throughout the acquarium. There is plenty of more sealife that you can see that I haven't went over yet, and this is definately an experience you can't miss.

Sav-ons is basically a mini Target that sells stuff a lot more expensively. I've personally never had a problem parking at Sav-On, as there is plenty of parking spots. Employees don't greet you, they are there for business. I never did get once a "hello" from any employee in this Sav-On. Prices are unusally high, such as a bag of chips will cost $3.49 while in Target it will be $2.49. Sometimes they will put items on sale, such as batteries. They will put their brand name batteries for only a buck. A postive about the store is that you'll never have a problem moving around. Shelves are arranged far apart so you have big walkways to go through. Another big negative is that the items they put on sale, they seem to never put too much stock of them. They can run out quick sometimes. Sav-Ons also sells new DVD releases, but at expensive prices. You can get them a lot cheaper at Target. My advice, instead of heading here for your next shopping trip, go to Target or Walmart.

The Gap is located in the Cerritos mall. They sell clothing for men, women, and heck, they have a separate Gap store specifically for kids. They usually sell the latests new trends for jeans and other good looking clothing. From my familiarity with this Gap, it seems they the prices here are kinda high. Their affiliate, Old Navy, sells similar clothes for a lot cheaper. For example, a $40 long sleeve shirt goes for only $15 at Old Navy. I do like the trendy look of their jeans however. Jeans usually range from $30 to $70, depending on what kind you get. I've never had a problem using their dressing room, as there is usually never a line to wait (which I love). Customer service is also great. Employees greet you with a smile as you walk by them in the store. However, I can't just seem to look past the fact that their affilate sells similar clothes for cheaper prices. I can't give this the high score I want to, so they will have to take my 3 stars.

Nordstrom is located in the Cerritos mall, but at the dead end section where rarely anyone goes. Nordstrom sells plenty of luxorious clothing and shoes, meaning its quite expensive. However, when you look at the products, you'll see why. Customer service is really up to par. If you tell them you don't need their help, they won't bother you. If you need their help, they will give you all their attention. The first floor features mens clothing as well as shoes and cologne and perfume. The second floor features mostly womens clothing. As I said earlier, clothing is pretty pricey due to the fact they sell all the top name brands and designers (shirts usually start around 30 or 40 bucks). They have a good collection of suits which I hope I could afford one day. I personally like how everything in the store is spaced out perfectly - they don't waste space and customers have enough room to walk around without bumping anything. Nordstrom would be a perfect store if I were rich.

Whats cool about sears is that everything is organized in the store. The basement floor has garden and lawcare materials, the first floor is filled with clothing, and the second floor is for the home. Clothing is really cheap at this store, and you can buy a whole family's worth of clothes at a really good price. The only problem I have with the store is that I seem to have some kind of allergy when I walk inside. My eyes always get watery, and I always need a few minutes to adjust when inside the store. Other things to point out in the store is the friendly customer service. When your paying for your clothes, the employees are trained quite well and know how to make the customers feel good. Sears is located at the very end of the mall, and they have their own parking lot. You'll be sure to have parking, cuz their parking lot is huge. Overall, this is a good department store.

The Mervyn's in the Cerritos Mall has the perfect location. It is literally in the center of the mall. What I love about Mervyn's is that the offer a wide variety of clothings from the Dickies brand name, which I love buying. They also offer good looking man pajamas and they also offer nice suits and other dress clothes. However, the customer service seems to always be nonexistent everytime I visit. It's not that the employees are mean, it's just that there aren't there when you need their help. You can literally go into the dressing rooms with as many garments as you want and walk back and forth and no one is watching you. The store also sells womens clothing and children clothing as well. On one black Friday, they gave out a bunch of free Christmas ornaments to customers. They just stacked them on a corner and let the customers get what they wanted. I personally grabbed 5 of them, as did my other friend :)

From what I always remember, pep boys always had decent prices on most things they sold. They never sold anything too expensive, but they sold them cheap enough for people to afford parts and what not. Pep Boys sells almost every car related object possible. And they sell parts for almost every car possible as well. If they don't have something in stock, they will gladly special order a part for you. They sell car batteries, filters, and many other car related items. They also sell screw drivers and bolts and what not too. They also have manuals for cars which you can buy, and the manuals will give you instructions to fix your car. Candy in this store is always expensive, so try your best to keep you kids away from the candy. The store also has an automotive section where they fix cars. To my knowledge, they always overprice for fixing anything for you, so I always take my car somewhere else if it needs a checkup. However, the employees are nice and will give you advice on your car if you ask them. They don't really car if they are fixing your car or if you fix it yourself, they will help you either way. Overall, I think this is a great place for all your car needs.

Treasure Island is like most casinos. They've got slots, card games like poker and black jack, they've got a sports bar, they serve alcohol, and so on. So what makes them special? It's the outside of the casino that gives them their flavor. The outside of the casino is built as a set for a show the put on every night for a few hours. There's a big lake, some boats, and a bunch of other props. They get people to dress up in pirate suits and enact a scene where pirates attack each other. The show is quite delightful, and children love it (the pirates don't really hurt each other). The casino used to have a gaint sign with a giant skull, but they recently replaced it and now is shows the letters "TI" in bright colors. You can watch the pirate show for free, and you can walk by anytime to see it. Treasure Island is located on the strip so everyone can see the awesome adventure.

Caesars Palace is a great a casino in itself. They've got plenty of different slots, and all kinds of card games. But what makes Casears Palace great is not the casino, but everything else. The outside of the casino is built as a building created by the Romans, and everything is in white. The inside keeps up with the Roman theme, as they have Roman guards walking around which you can take pictures with. What's also cool is that Celine Dion performs for Caesars, and you can watch her in one of her many concerts at Caesars theater. There's also a huge shopping center inside Caesars as well. The shopping center has a breathtaking look, as the roof is pictured as clouds in a sky. The shopping center has great stores, such as the Gap, Niketown, Victoria Secret, and FAO Schwartz. Also in the shopping center are benches for tired people to sit on. There's even a giant aquariam at one end of the shopping center. Also, they have statues in the shopping center that will come to life at every hour and perform breathtaking shows with fire and water splurting out. It'll be something you never experienced before and you'll definately need to.
