Westgate Mall is a place with a lot of options and stores that are hidden gems. It is still a great mall for shopping and has good food, with very nice employees. It allows pets in strollers and has seats for resting, plus fun features like a shape-making cotton candy machine. While it is seen as a nice place, some note it is going downhill, not like it used to be, and can be kinda dirty or busy. Overall, it is worth a look for a fun time out, even if it is not exactly a draw on its own.
The mall becomes just a place to walk around at this point. There are too many empty spaces in the mall. When I was growing up, they had a lot of those empty spaces filled. I think online shopping is ending up killing the mall business. At least it was packed today.

Stopped by for some Indian fusion at Rotor City Cafe and it was definitely worth the effort.
Much easier to park and walk in for some food than to try and find parking at some of the freestanding restaurants around town.

Feels like the mall has been a bit dying down lately, individual stores are great though shoutout to the people who helped me at bath and body works
