text: 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 does not offer up as much as it used to bennI 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 is built up a lot lately they have some good options around the mallnnBut if you are heading to Carolina Place for the mall aspect do not expect anything spectacular They have your normal stores like any other mall so nothing special But it is not a bad trip to check out the stores restaurants around the mall
