Citrus Park

This is one of my favorite malls, because it is so close to me, and it is very big and intertaining (as shown in the picture on the right.) My sisters and I used to love to go here as kids because while my mom would go shopping, we would go on the merry-go-round. There are great stores at this mall, like Abercrombie, Abercrombie and Fitch, Aerie by American Eagle, Aeropostale, American Eagle Outfitters, Anchor Blue, Ann Taylor Loft, Bath and Body Works, BEBE, Body Shop, Cache, Charlotte Russe, Chico's, Express, Finish Line, Foot Locker, Forever 21, Guess, Gymboree, Hollister Co., Hot Topic, JC Penny, Journeys, Lids, The Limited, Lucky Brand Jeans, Macy's, New York and Company, Payless Shoe Source, Rave, Rave Girl, Sunglass Hut, White House/Black Market, and that's just the beginning of the long list of stores in this mall. This is a great mall for my family to go to after going out to visit my mom's family, because this is about two hours away from me, we barley go to this mall, so it is a treat when we get to go.

Hyde Park

This is another one of my favorite shopping areas, because it is just this big circle, surrounded by a bunch of stores such as A Pea in the Pod, Abercrombie and Fitch, American Eagle Outfitters, Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic, Bath and Body Works, BEBE, Bed Bath and Beyond, The Body Shop, Cache, Claire's, Finish Line, Forever 21, GAP, Guess, J. Crew, Journeys, Juicy Couture, Levi's, LIDS, The Limited, Lucky Brand Jeans, Macy's, PacSun, Sketchers, Solstice Sunglass Boutique, Sunglass Hut, and that's just about half of them. This is one of my favorite places to shop because there are so many stores, and you walk around outside. Its like being in a little town with only shops. My parents also like this mall because it has a lot of nice stores, while it also has stores that my sisters and I enjoy. It is a lot of fun in this shopping center because my parents trust me to just go off and all i have to do is give them a time that i will be back, or tell them where to meet me.

Westshore Plaza

This is a mall that I enjoy, but its not my top mall to go to. I like this mall because it has some cool stores, but compared to some other malls, it doesn't have that many. Some of the stores i enjoy at this mall are Aeropostale, Aerosoles, AMC 14 Theateres, American Eagle Outfitters, Banana Republic, Bath and Body Works, BEBE, Cache, Charlotte Russe, Chico's, Finish Line, Foot Locker, Gap, JCPenny, Lids, Macy's, Old Navy, Payless ShoeSource, Saks Fith Avenue, Limited, and Wet Seal, there are many others, but those are just some of my favorites. There really isn't anything other than the shops, there is an Aunt Annie's, but that's about it.

Tyrone Square Mall

This is my second favorite mall. I like this mall because it has a lot of great stores. Some of my favorite stores are Pac Sun, Sunglass Hut, Borders Books & Music, Rave Girl, JCPenny, Macy's, AMC Tyrone 6 Theatres, Bath & Body Works, Gap Body, Aeropostale, American Eagle Outfitters, d.e.m.o, Hollister Co., Lids, and many others. I also like that like the International Plaza, is it has huge food court. Some of the many restaurants are China Max, Fortunato's Italian Market, Sarku Japan, Bonefish Grill, Lee Roy Selmon's, and Tia's Tex Mex. These are only some of the many restaurants and different types of foods you can try at this mall. This is another one of my favorite malls because it is so close to where I live, that the only struggle to get there is the traffic that you could find just about anywhere downtown. This is one of the most convenient malls because of how close it is, and when you're ready to leave to eat dinner or lunch you can just stop either at the mall, or at one of the many restaurants on the side of the street on your way back home.

International Plaza

One of my favorite malls in Florida is the International Mall. This mall is located in Tampa, Florida, on International Plaza and Bay Street. This is what i believe to be one of the best malls near St. Petersburg, Florida. This is one of my favorite malls because not only does it have the most stores, great parking, awesome restaurants, and mainly, its huge! Some of my favorite stores in this mall are Abercrombie, Abercrombie & Fitch, Aeropostale, American Eagle Outfitters, Bath & Body Works, Bebe, The Body Shop, GUESS?, Hollister CO., Hot Topic, Journeys, The Levi's Store, Lucky Brand, and Pac Sun. There are many more shops in this mall, but these are some of my favorites. This is mainly my favorite mall because most of the malls near St. Petersburg don't have even close to the amount of shops this mall holds. This mall also has many restaurants, such as The Bamboo Club Asian Bistro, The Cheesecake Factory, Gelateria Del Duomo, Suki Hana, and many others. Not only do I love this mall, but whenever my parents decide to reward me and my sisters with a shopping trip, this mall is the one they like to take us to, because it has shops that me and all my sisters love, but my parents also find their favorite shops located here.
