''I have been able to find almost all I need at Wal-mart. From socks to tires, from soda to meats. Prices are right and of good quality. Friendly service and GREAT return policy if ever needed, plus layaway....''

''If you like little shops with a quaint atmosphere, then this is the place to be. It has many little shops, with a variety of merchandise to purchase. It's never crowded like the malls, but still provides the quality one might find in the merchandise from the mall. Actually, probably better.

So go shopping in the quaint little cotton exchange, then have lunch at one of the little resturants down by the river. On the cobblestone streets, you can't go wrong....''

''I no longer feel safe shopping at Independence Mall. I have seen crimes being committed and called Mall Security and was told the Mall will not allow them to do anything. I have heard people say which stores they can shoplift in because nothing will happen to them, (which is most). Shop where it is safe!!...''
