The Malls of Mobile: Silly , but convenient

    There are 2 malls in Mobile. There are, very generically speaking, 3 regions to the city of Mobile. West Mobile, Midtown and Downtown. All are pretty big. But these 2 malls are RIGHT across the street from each other. I find this silly. The Springdale Mall and the Bel Air Mall DO have different stores and for my preferences, I shop mostly at the Bel Air mall. However, I go over the Springdale Mall for the attached or unattached shops surrounding the mall like Barnes and Noble bookstore (Mobile is lacking in local bookstores)

    Special items? I don't know...it depends on what you want. The thing is, if you don't find it at one mall, just go right across the street to the other. Pretty simple.

    Keep in mind the tax in Mobile (the city) 9% on all mall items.

  • This has nothing to do with a shop in particular, but the sales tax w/in the city limits. It's 9% on anything but food and I believe food is 10%. OUTSIDE of the city, it's 7%. West Mobile has grown a lot, there are restaurants, places to shop, movie theaters and other entertainment west of the city limits (meaning west of Cody Rd) so I suggest going there.
