Shoppes at South Plaza — Attraction in Nashville-Davidson

At first you see Lowe's, big lots, office Max, dollar general. Then you round the corner and you have an oasis of international (mostly Asian ) restaurants and stores. These type establishments, like grocery markets, dress alterations, nail spa, & Japanese food, are sprinkled up and down this stretch of nolenvsille pike, but it's awesome to find them all in one place. Most big cities I've lived in, these places seems much more common (Boston,SF) nice to finally find a grouping in Nash. In the "international" side wing of this strip mall, there are four grocery/specialty food shops alone: one Korean, one mixed Asian but chiefly Chinese, one Arabic, and another Indian/Malay/Philippino, Pakistani, with other cultural products also appearing in each. The woman who runs the Korean bodega speaks very little English but there are always other helpful and friendly customers in there who help me find what I want (love Korean instant coffee, powdered teas and sauces, and of course the skin care!) Plus that store is the least cramped of them, so I always run in there if I can spare the time. Don't be intimidated by the culture shock if you want a good deal, you'll usually find something here, reminds me if SF Chinatown where you can get imitation Corelle wear dishware with pretty Asian prints, too cheap to comprehend, or the perfect sauces, fish sauce, noodles and rice, endless chili paste variants, and exotic candy/soda /produce/toiletries. The Asian hot pot restaurant is gorgeous inside but just average food with mostly Chinese based menu. The Japanese place, think it's called Midori is pretty good. Wish wish they'd open a good Indian or even better Vietnamese place in my neighborhood! This would be a great spot for it. Weird cool little place I found it...

Visited LOWE'S to have duplicate keys made. They have a vending machine that makes them and it is very simple, easy to use and cheaper and faster than us humans can make them. There are several designs to choose from and you get to watch it make each key. Fun stuff. Also very accurate. Every key was perfect. Also it doesn't keep anything associated with the key itself on file. It only tracks the number of keys purchased and the payment history and you can get a paper receipt or have it send you a text or email receipt. Also buy two keys and get the third one free. One thing to keep in mind is that if you don't use a debit/credit card you will need exact change in bills, paper money. I had to cancel my order and go to customer service to get change. There's also no tax so if you're paying in cash you won't need coins. LOWE'S has so many things on my wishlist I could and do spend hours in the store dreaming, planning, getting new ideas and purchasing everything I need for my DIY home improvements and I also find a lot of items for my craft projects that you wouldn't think you would find in a home improvement store. Shopping. Somebody's got to do it and I LOVE...

Went to Lowe's looking for shoe goo. I looked it up bfr I went. I approached one associate and asked her where I might find it she gave me an aggrieved look, said she never heard of it and walked away. Normally I get better service at Lowe's. I went to go find a supv or at least find someone who liked their job and found a sweet older gentleman who not only knew what it was but told me which aisle and walked with me to get it. He more than made up for the earlier lazy woman (his 5 star service made up for her 1 star...
