Northeast Shopping Center — Attraction in Philadelphia

The quintessential Northeast Philly strip mall experience! A revolving-door of stores peppered with a few mainstays. No shopping carts. No information desk. No public restroom.

Why has this "mall" had such time-tested success? The stores here are particularly awesome! Burlington, Marshall's, Five Below and America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses. Not to mention one of the better dollar stores around (it's just a DollarTree, but like, a real real good one).

On the down-side... 1] The dirtiest A.C. Moore with the rudest staff I've ever experienced. 2] I usually LOVE me some Boston Market. This one disappoints me every time. Dry a$$ chicken. 3] Broken-up curbage, rusted out posts, "temporary" fencing in the walkway and a constant empty property (it's Hooters, atm) generally make it feel ghetto.

Most of all, there is a definite Alt-Rock shaped hole here since we lost Tower Records. It feels sterile and generic now. We need a tattoo parlor, a 'Chop Shop' or 'Way Out' type store... SOMETHING. Better food options, too. Making this a mall again. A place you went out of your way to get to, rather than some "Shopping Center" you stop at on the way...

We must have went in about 40 stores and stopped at auntie Ann's for Somme GREAT PRETZELS!!I got cinnamon, regular with salt and one without for my grandson, spout creme& onion and a cup of little fingers pretzels for my grandson sour creme and onion he loved them he ate more than in did and let me tell you they hook you up they fill that BIG cup to the room there were so many we couldn't finish them all and that's me, my daughter, my grandson,& my husband they are so good them pretzels!!

Chuck e cheese's is not nothing like it used to be when I was growing up we want the old Chuck e cheese back but it is a very clean place. They have polite employees the food is decent they also have a package plan for the summer where you get a abundance of tickets and plenty of credit to get on the rides and play the games. I love that right around the corner from Chuck-E-Cheese is the frozen yogurt place you can sit down and eat after you put all the delicious toppings on your frozen yogurt relax and enjoy! They got a food market there. Five and below is there! There's definitely places shop for household items clothes and shoes Northeast shopping center is definitely where you can go to meet 98%...
