I like Belk. It’s not the fanciest, biggest, or trendiest department store, but it’s a solid place to shop in town and a bright spot in what is known as the Village Mall. The salespeople are pretty hospitable, and the merchandise is decently organized. I can usually find what I need here, be in clothes, shoes, or home goods. What I usually do is wait until a holiday since there are usually terrific sales going on; plus you can save even more if you print coupons from the web or cut them out from circulars. Today I paid $ 31 for shoes that were originally $ 59. Win!
