Every city seems to have one. It's a place where everyone seems to to gravitate to get their shopping done.

It's one of those convenient places on the way home, or it's the place you don't mind going out of the way for.

It's the best shopping center in town.

We'll be taking nominations until July 9, and then we'll launch the election for the Patch Readers Choice Awards.

Where's the best place to find what you're looking for and maybe grab a bite to eat? Maybe your favorite center is near the I-5, like the Gateway Center? Or maybe it's where you can get virtually anything, like the Shops at Mission Viejo. Or maybe you like shopping centers with lots of fun activities like the Kaleidoscope?

Tell us in the comments below why you like a particular shopping area in Mission Viejo, and we'll be sure to include it in our poll. And then, when it comes time, you can vote with your mouse.

And when the voting is done, youll have a guide to the best of Rancho Santa Margarita without costing you a dime. How's that for a shopper's delight?
