Please don't get me wrong. This is a failing mall. It is nothing like the mall I remember from my…read morechildhood. But, the stores that are left, and the food spots that are left are doing their best. The workers at all of them were helpful and polite. We found some decent sales and the food was affordable. But, there's not much selection for restaurants. And there's plenty of missing amenities. Basically it's dying like every other mall in America.

There are still some nice shops here even though there are no real anchor stores, except maybe Dicks Sporting goods. I like Lost Worlds, Dumb Records, and some nice clothing stores. I wish some other stores could be coaxed in. Maybe they could try things they did in the past, such an antique shows, fashion shows for fall and spring, and the holidays. Years ago, they had first responders and police departments displaying vehicles and doing fingerprinting for children. A Costco would be nice or a furniture store. Update. Went to the mall today and saw the Christmas trees. It was very well done, I hope for more people to participate next year!! Maybe they could contact a train group and have them set up a christmas train. Or the mall could utilize the empty store fronts and put in some decorations in the windows. Some additional photo opportunities would also be nice. Gingerbread cookies would be a hit as would live christmas music or swing choirs. Contact schools and churches. Thank you for having the MOCR there.

I've been needing a new purse for quite a while. My biggest problem is I had very specific…read moredimensions and features that I wanted in my new purse. My goal was to get something before the winter because my summer purse is fabric and leads to drenched contents during the rainy season. The features that were a must for my new purse were that it needed to be leather/water proof. The main compartment needed to have a zipper closure. I hoped to find a purse that has a full size flat pocket on the backside of the purse for my handicap placard and for my small file of half fold papers. The space of the main compartment needed to be roomy enough for the contents I always carry; double pack epipen, purse calendar, wallet, checkbook, mini first aid kit, pens, notepad, cell phone, keys.i hoped that I could find a satchel style that had a double handle that I could carry in my hands or hike up on my shoulder. My husband realized several weekends ago that I was shopping online for a purse. He steered me to JCPenney.com because they were having a sale that went through that Sunday. What could be better than buy one,get the second one free. After spending the day looking at pictures and reading descriptions I found two purses to order. I kept my fingers crossed until they arrived that they were going to be right but knew JCPenney is good about accepting returns if they were totally wrong. Three days after placing the order they arrived. I'm happy with both of them and plan to use one or the other depending on what I'm doing. Thanks JCPenney.com for running such a good sale.. Your prompt shipping and delivery was appreciated.

I found a scarf I liked on display but there was no price tag on it. I found the associate working…read morethat department and asked her to check it for me. there was no UPC code on it and she told me I'd have to take it to the check out so they could look it up. So I had to be the one standing in line waiting to get a price on this scarf. As i was standing there waiting, it occurred to me that SHE should have been the one waiting for a price...not me. I don't work there!!! so with that, i put the scarf back and they can shove it where the sun don't shine. VERY poor customer service!! Never again. why should i have to get the price??? are they not trying to sell their crap? (Of course, I looked all through the department and didn't see another scarf like it)
