  This shopping center is on Gause Boulevard and is a very busy area. Be prepared to wait at stop lights and watch lots of traffic go by coming out of this location and stops and backed up traffic trying to get to the location around work quitting time.The shopping center today seemed like most of the people didn't want to be at work. First stop was at Goodwill. I didn't find what I wanted, but the staff were friendly enough, so it was a pleasant stop, though short. The customers at Goodwill seem like they are regulars there. Very friendly and strike up conversations with one another as they probably see each other often. Three or four different customers actually freely engaged in conversations with me about different unique items being sold there, so I found it quite enjoyable talking to such kind people. it was quite enjoyable talking to such kind people. Next stop was Dollar Tree, next door. The cashier who checked the item I was purchasing was the manager on duty, and her demeanor was almost rude. She acted bothered to have to help customers, never making eye contact nor even smiled. Everyone that work there this day bothered to greet anyone that came into the store nor during check out. Don't think I'll be going back there. Next stop was at Big Lots, where there were a lot of items that I thought would be a lot cheaper than Walmart for instance, but was rather expensive. You can find some good deals there such as food items. The only drawback to that visit was the cashier there seems almost like artificial intelligence or a robot when she was checking my items out. She had what seemed like a prepared speech of questions for each customer that she repeated, like reading from a book. She was friendly, but in an artificial intelligence kind of way... Haha. To be fair, she might have been a new employee, so giving her the benefit of the doubt, she did quite well. She signed me up for the Big Lots store discounts card and also asked if I wanted see if I qualify for their Big Lots credit card. The store discounts card I did sign up for, yet I decided not to hold up the line for my definite denial of a store credit card. Another time I suppose...haha.. Overall, this Shopping Center has plenty of parking and several different businesses. If you are in need of using an open WiFi connection network, I lucked out by being able to utilize two different open Networks to map directions out my next destination. Keep in mind, traffic is extremely heavy in this area, especially after 5pm.
