This four-story shopping center has row after row of stalls and stores, hawking second-hand clothes, vintage dresses, accessories, and used records, as well as new fashions by the most recent, undiscovered designers. Crafts and gifts abound, and the handmade jewelry is especially noteworthy. There are also two cafés, including a quirky, bohemian outpost on the top-floor where the cool crowd hangs out on cozy couches and listens to DJ's playing the latest alternative music.

This shopping center is currently undergoing an upgrade with plans underway to add flash to the formerly nondescript establishment.

More than 200 retailers have stores here, from the least expensive to the top of the line. Several quick eating establishments are available here as well.
