Shopping Asheville Mall
We went shopping at the Asheville mall today. It wasn’t too bad considering it’s 17 days to Christmas and a Saturday. You could find a parking space without to much ado. The traffic getting there was a bit heavy. Leaving the Mall was terrible. We waited a good thirty minutes to get to the main road. We then went to Shoe Carnival and hunted shoes. I like the bargains here. Buy one pair get the other for half price. But, finding a shoe I like that in my size is a real chore. After this, we went across the street to Lowes, I had a coupon for $10.00 off any $25.00 purchase. I had no idea what to buy, I just wanted the deal. So, my daughter reminded me, it wasn’t a deal if I didn’t need anything so, we left and went to Super Wal-mart to finish my Christmas shopping for my grandchildren. It was terrible here. Wall to wall people, blocking you at every turn. Anyway, I ended up getting one granddaughter a toy laptop, the other a gift card. I’m glad I’m through shopping cause the traffic near the malls and shopping centers are only going to get worse. If you are coming to town to shop at the mall and want a nearby hotel, see East Asheville hotels.
