This is the second mall in Colorado Springs. Although when you go in, it may not seem like much. However, it has many different shops to offer, including a Discovery Channel Store that Chapel Hills Mall does not have. Also, check out the food court when you are there. Palm trees and much greenery!
You can't go wrong here. You name it, you will probably find it. TONS of clothing stores; everything from Dress Barn for women to Timberland for guys. There is also a Levi's Jean outlet, and many others. I recommend Timberland, because they have a lot of hiking cold weather gear. You can actually save quite a bit...the best times to go are seasonal changes. Buy all your winter stuff in the spring when it is 60-80% off, and vise-versa.
This mall has everything you could want. Neiman Marcus, Saks, Anthropologie, Burberry, Gap, Banana Republic.Then across the street you have the Cherry Creek North with the cute botiques and smaller name shops. And good restaurants throughout. They have an outdoor ice skating rink in the winter.
Some of the sweetest and juciest melons that are available (in season) throughout much of the United States go by the name of Rocky Ford. I did not know that they come from the desert southeastern corner of Colorado until I passed through here on US Hwy. 50 in mid-August. I stopped and put a couple of ripe canteloupe in my ice chest, and they were still in good shape when I got home to Ohio and presented them to Karen three days later. If you happen to be in Rocky Ford in late summer, it would seem a shame not to stop and taste the melons.In addition to being a farm stand with an abundance of fresh produce, Smith's Corner is also an antique shop. I enjoyed browsing around the many dusty western items found here, and bought an old Colorado auto license plate for my collection.
This is a fairly good-sized gallery with an astonishing selection of jewelry -- mostly of the geometric persuasion -- and a few other delightful items: collages, ceramics, etc. If you want angular stack rings, crocheted beadwork, jewelry with interchangeable pop-out stones, or a brooch in 5 kinds of worked metal, this is your place. There's a good range of prices -- everything from about $20 for a skinny stack ring on up.
This tiny but attractive shop carries paintings, craft items (glass art, ceramics, wood, mobiles), and some very handsome jewelry. Their preference is for the angular, but they have a surprisingly varied selection (be sure to go through the drawers of the jewelry case!); so if you want to buy a special present for someone, you're likely to find an item that they'll love, whatever their tastes. Prices are good for what you get -- they have everything from $35 glass paperweights to multi-hundreds-of-dollars jewelry.
This is a combination store of practically everything you can possibly think of. Primarily, it is an antique store, but there is also furniture, books, collectibles, and anything else you may be seeking. I found a few things here to finish a couple of my collections. Prices vary, so check around within the store, because there may be more than one.
This is a coin collector's shop. The owner has a few antiques, but a lot of the stuff I saw was nothing but junk. He has old indian arrowheads for sale, gold nuggets, and a few bowie knifes. However, the owner is very nice, and seems to be very respectable. I needed to obtain some coins for my collection, and he was willing to trade me instead of having me fork out much money. I managed to almost finish my collection because of him. I also bought a few 2005 Silver Eagles from him, at a good price too!He has coins from practically everywhere in the world, and has so many contacts, he can put you up with someone who has something you are looking for in case he doesn't have it. If you are a coin collector passing through, stop in and see what he has to offer. Coins mostly...some paper money as well.
Everything from camping, hiking, fishing, exercise equipment, etc. It's all here! Used to be called Galyans...now called Dick's Sporting Goods. Tents, Yoga Mats, baseball gloves, ski goggles, (you get the picture...basically everything). Dick's has very good quality stuff, but expect to pay a little higher than average prices than you normally would.
This shop is just like Galyans, but not as expensive; especially if you go through the REI outlet. If you go online to the REI outlet link below, you can order what you want or need at the outlet price, and then turn around and pick it up at the REI store! Just remember....if you go through the REI outlet, it is cheaper than going through the actual store. Camping, rockclimbing, and other outdoors equipment. Expect to pay average, unless you go online to the REI Outlet. (Be sure you click on the REI Outlet tab).
