The Rotunda is a focal point for many services in Hampden. While some may bemoan the loss of its former retail stores, there is still much activity in the center. Numerous doctor's offices, dentists, and other services can be found on its multiple office floors. Parking can be difficult near the Giant Food entrance way but better in the back area. A renovated theater, new comic bookstore, and other services have helped to keep the shopping area alive and kicking. Like all urban areas, always be careful in the parking lots as it can be unsafe during night time hours.

I like it, but there are not many stores I go to on a regular basis , I wish there was, just not though. Wish some of the oddball stores scattered around the city would take up a shop in there. Would absolutely love it if they got a
"Dave and Busters" in there.
